Now that is very interesting! Thank you for that snippet. The only other theory I had was that using View - Hide/Show conditionalised Text (with all files in a book window selected) might somehow delete the text.
I shall test out your discovery, as that could explain it in several cases I can think of. Vielen Dank!

I noticed a problem when importing the page layout with hidden text. I have a footer with text "draft" and the exact time. This text has a condition "draft". When I hide this condition and import the page layout into another file, the hidden text is not imported. If the condition is shown, the text is imported. Best regards Winfried
