Read text from external file and add to FM file

If you want all of the text in file external.txt, use Text Inset:
File » Import » File
{select file}
Decide (_) Import_By_Reference or (_) Copy_Into_Document
{verify file type in next dialog, then}
Pick line treatment options and any encoding election.

But I'm guessing you need something different.

Your question is lacking some details. Are you trying to do this with the API or ExtendScript? It is definitely possible with either of those. You would use a File object to read the text and then you would use FrameMaker doc methods to add the text to a document. You can read about the File object in the Javascript Tools Guide, available from the Help menu of the ExtendScript editor. You can find some examples of inserting text into a document here: http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_ExtendScriptSamples.htm.

What do you mean by "corresponding" ?
