<br>
DITA files are typically XML, in which case I'm not aware of any
way to import that into an unstructured FM document using
standard FM commands. If the files are structured binary FM
files that use the DITA model, you can use the text inset
mechanism to import that file the same as you would an
unstructured FM file. Just use File > Import > File and
you'll have an inset sourced by that file. The structure is
stripped off when it's imported.<br>
<br>
The problem is that you'll be importing the entire file, so that
means the "DITA" files would need to written at a granular level
below that of the topic if you're trying to import field help
descriptions. If your field help descriptions are made up of a
title and description .. this *could* work (A DITA topic must
have a title) .. but doesn't sound like an ideal solution.<br>
<br>
Maybe someone else has seen this demo that you're referring to,
and can shed more light on the issue.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

been tasked with finding how to include / import by
reference / text-inset / etc. unstructured (DTIA) content
(such as field help descriptions) in a larger unstructured
document (such as in a user guide chapter). Someone I work
with said they saw an Adobe representative demonstrate this
capability. I know it would make more sense to move
everything into structured FrameMaker, but that's not the
question I'm being asked... So far I do not see a way to do
this, although I do see a way to bring unstructured content
into a structured document. </span><br
