You should always go for the single source approach - provided you expect the content to always remain the same - one file, inserted twice. --- Peter On 2015-06-17 14:13, John Posada wrote: Pursuing this text insert approach, which is better practice...lets say I have a couple pages of

Re: Is there a way to get around the issue of a book not allowing the same file more than once?

Pursuing this text insert approach, which is better practice...lets say I have a couple pages of content and I want it to appear twice. Do I put the orig file in the book and use it in a text insert in another place or do I not put the file in the book but instead use two different text insert

RE: Is there a way to get around the issue of a book not allowing the same file more than once?

John, You create a book of text insets that have the same conditions, tags, etc. as your the file into which you want to pull the insets - the container files. Then you only have to point to/pull in the same inset multiple times. Text insets inherit all the properties of their container

Hi John, Does your file contain references or some type cross linking? Breaking up your file into multiple text insets may be your best option, but only put the content in that doesn't contain linking to other files. Another tip for using text insets. We have a paragraph format called tiny

Hi, Nadine... It's not whether I want to look at another tool or not;...it's that being I'm in a Bank AML Compliance environment, I work in a locked down environment and it takes an act of god to install software off the approved list. It was a 6 month effort just to add a PDF link checker.

Instead of including it in the book, can you use it as as a text inset in two different places, instead? -Lise On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 1:48 PM, john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com wrote: Hi, guys... This probably isn't advisable, but it would make my life easier if FM11 allowed the inclusion of the
