Hi Jerry I'm not sure that it would work with table rows or within tables, but:
You could store your pieces of text in separate flows in a single file. Every Frame document can contain up to 255 (I think) separate flows. If you store each piece in its own uniquely named flow, you can import the flow by reference as a text inset wherever you need it. When importing the inset, select the file you want to import and the specific flow. I've certainly done this successfully with glossary definitions in a master glossary, but am not sure whether you can import a text flow into a table cell. Worth a try... Hope this helps.

Using Frame 7.2 (and Frame 9), unstructured. I have a large set of reference tables, from which I would like to be able to individually extract/duplicate rows to make a copy of the contents available to readers in the context in which they need the information. None of the solutions that are obvious to me are attractive: -setting up separate tables and x-refing each individual paragraph from the source tables -trying to create multiple files for each small chunk and using text insets to call them into the narrative context I would like to imagine that there is some way (short of moving to structured Frame, which isn't practical for a variety of reasons) to accomplish this, given how orderly tables appear in the MIF files. Has anyone found a durable solution to this?
