Text Insets with Frame10

[Robert Lauriston]

How big are the individual insets and how much variation is there among manuals?

Will the individual customers' manuals need to be updated or are they one-offs?

Not counting third-party add-ons, there are at least three ways to
handle such variations:

1. conditional text (much more flexible in recent releases)

2. text insets (i.e. File > Import > FIle > Import by Reference

3. assemble a set of modular .fm files into different books (an .fm
file DOES NOT have to correspond to a chapter)

You can also use a combination of the three.

Has anyone used text insets with unstructured Frame? The discussion of insets in the Frame help (an oxymoron at best) is pathetic. I suspect that insets may be helpful to me and save me time with updates, which occur regularly. I would appreciate any insights you can give.  Is there a source of information about how best to use insets in Frame?
