I write for a Medical Device company and repeated Warnings and Cautions are common - so I keep that text in file and import it as needed. It's much simpler to update a single Warning in the Inset file than to try to find every occurrence of that Warning within 20+ files.
It also saves on translation costs.

In contrast to what others have posted, I work on textbooks mainly in Frame and the copyright info tends to change, so I don't use text imports for that. Perhaps the most common use for me is importing the author's software code examples. But now that I think about that, there's not a lot of advantage over copy-paste unless they get updated often. Duplicated common text can also be handled using xrefs. -- Steve [Trim e-mails: use less disk, use less power, use less planet] _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as alison.cr...@ultrasonix.com.
