We are using InsetPlus together AXCM, also from West Street Consulting, and everything is automated with a set of ExtendScripts from JANG Communication - http://www.jang.nl/.

We're talking about a few hundred insets per FrameMaker book. Back when we were using Unstructured FrameMaker we more or less stopped using text insets because we thought they didn't really work, but in the publishing framework we are using now, they work really well.

Robert, are you using this, or just knew about it?

And, it does look as if it requires structured Fm, but the web site (quick
perusal) doesn't say what kind of structure is required/supported.

Any know?

Yes and it looks excellent, but it only works with structured Frame.

The jump from unstructured to structured Frame is quite significant.

We are using insets for reuse (and we use unstructured FM12).  So for
content that is used in multiple places, we make it into a text inset and
then we can edit in one place and use it in multiple places.

We log the insets in a spreadsheet by fm file name, topic title, writer,
and last change date, and then we regularly run a book of books to identify
text insets and determine if we're missing any in the spreadsheet.

We have two main problems:
- There is no way, other than our spreadsheet, to see where the text
insets are used.  So if inset A is used in book A, B, and C, we can't tell
that other than through the spreadsheet. You can't click the text inset and
see where it's used.
- Also, if we need to find information and we search the book or books
for that string, we can't find it as text insets aren't searchable.
