RE: Link to other FrameMaker

["Hedley Finger (EPA)" <Hedley.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	art;

	framemaker does not import an entire document, only entire flows. if
you put your text fragments in discon
	nected flows, each with its own flow letter or number. then you only
need one document full of fragments. when you import text by reference as a
text inset you specify the flow you want.

	FM is an OLE client (if you'd like it to be a server too -- email
Adobe a
	function request),
	but you can easily embed an entire FM file in another FM file. Just
use File
	Import.
	The hitch is that you can only do a complete file, not a portion as
you can
	with Word 
	and other OLE server aps.
