Importing text

I can't guess what you expect the import to do, perhaps replace existing headings, or insert themselves at particular locations. Well actually, those were guesses, I just can't be sure they're correct guesses.

* If you want to extract all headings of a certain paragraph format from a file, you can create a table of contents that specifies those paragraph formats.

* If you want to capture headings that are in one file in a different file, use cross-references.

For details, search Google for phrases like "framemaker cross-references," or "framemaker table of contents," without quotes.
