Hi Gary,
Here is an idea for solving this with a script. Each text inset has a
"Unique" property, which acts as a serial number for the inset. This number
remains constant, even after the inset is updated. You could follow a
workflow similar to this.
1) Import and correctly conditionalize your

Hi Milan,
Here is the low-tech way of doing it.
1) Make a copy of the "from" document.
2) Delete all of the paragraph formats except the one you want to import.
3) Import paragraph formats from the "from" document with the single
paragraph format into your target document or book.

Hi Milan,
One of the files that come with FrameScript is "ImportPgfFormats.fsl"
which I use very much. With that you can choose which one or more of
PgfFormats you want to import.

That is FrameMaker's normal behavior...so the need for scripting...

external data into an account, it's almost impossible to un-mess it.

MYOB seems to be a more popular choice for the small business. It can
