Elisa,
A text inset cannot consist of part of a flow. Instead, create a new
flow containing only the reusable portion and import it into both sections.
This flow can be the main flow of a new document, a body flow of a new
document, or a reference flow in the document you are editing or another
one. Since you can create multiple body flows or reference flows in one
document, you have the option of storing all text insets in one document.
Just remember that if you use reference flows of the containing document,
you'll need to save it before importing the text insets.
A structured text inset must have a root element. You might therefore
want your EDD to define an element that can contain part of a section. For
example, suppose you want a Section to contain a Title and then four
Paragraph elements of which the three last ones are to be in a text inset.
You might define an element called TextInset that can contain all of the
children of a Section (except possibly the Title). You would then create a
flow containing a TextInset element with the three reusable Paragraphs, and
the section with the text inset would consist of the Title, the first
Paragraph, and the imported TextInset.
