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.

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.

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.

conditional text options, when you pull in a text inset into a container file,
this text inset inherits the conditional text setting of the container file.
