If I understand you correctly, you're importing the paragraph style "Note" from one file to another, and the items above and below are lost. Whey you say "These lines are defined as pics," do you mean that the lines are graphic lines? The problem is likely that you overlooked the way FM does the above/below paragraph stuff. The advanced paragraph format property is called "Frame Above, Frame Below." Simply importing the paragraph format doesn't import the reference page graphics along with it. To fix the problem, import the reference pages too. BUT FIRST, be sure that all the reference pages your utility file match all the reference pages in the chapter files; that is, if a reference page in the utility file is named "stuff" and has different content from reference pages in the target files named "stuff," when you import reference pages, utility file's reference page will replace the target file's reference page with different stuff. FM can't import specific reference pages; it's all or none from the source file. However, you can create uniquely-named reference pages in the utility file and delete any reference pages that you don't want the import process to replace.
