Merging 2 FM files into 1 single file (7.0)

[_Olivier_Bob_Dionne_]

I searched for quite some time about a way to merge 2 FM files into 1 single file. Let me explain in details:

I have 2 FM files with the same layout. I need to take 2 pages from the first FM file and add them in the middle of my second FM file.

I used the "import file" function, but each time it tells me " No insertion point in a paragraph". So I create a text box and put an insertion point, but I loose the initial layout.

I want to know if an actual way to add FM files into another FM file exist. I thought it would be easy, maybe something like In Design with a drag and drop solution or anything like it.

Thank you for you time in my request

Most people would define and then copy the 2-page text passage from Chapter 1 and paste it into Chapter 2. Is this not working for you?

OR

If you're trying to use the same text passage in two files and want each one to update automatically, you're doing it wrong. Save your 2-page passage as a separate fm file -- the "source" file.

Then in each of the chapters where you want it to appear, click at the insertion point. Use File > Import to import the source passage into each destination file

Cheers,

Wow, now I feel noob. Even if I know Framemaker for some time, I cant believe my problem was so easy to resolve.

Thank you for your help Art, its very appreciated.
best regards,
