Cross reference for more paragraphs

Question

Hello.We are trying to find a way how we can import to FrameMaker file part of other file. We need to link this way one or more paragraphs from another document.I have tried import file, but this works for whole file, but we need only a part of document.I have also tried to create crossrefences but I was only able to insert one paragraph from another document.Is there a way to make a linked part of another document?

link this way one or more paragraphs from another documentThis sounds to me like a case for text insets: write a small separate file with the content you want to re-use, then insert it in each/all the destination files.for the target, the place where you want to place the text inset, start with an empty paragraph; then add a non-breaking space and put the cursor at the start of the line before referencing the inset

¶for the source, the file you are going to use as an inset, set the last paragraph to use Pagination property Run-In Head, no punctuationRelated threads are: Inset anchor design ideasUnremovable added paragraph entry in text framecross-referencesCross-references normally run off styles,which is why they would pick up a single paragraph rather than a range of paragraphs. If you're trying to pull in several paragraphs, you'll need several cross-references … or consider text insets again.N
