Subject:common text in Framemaker 7.0 From:"Sierra Bruckner" <sierra -dot- bruckner -at- alfabet -dot- de> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 21 Feb 2005 10:27:20 +0100
I am currently starting a documentation project in Framemaker 7.0 (unstructured). I will be writing separate manuals for several different software modules and some of the text about a specific feature that appears in one manual will be used in other manuals. Because it may need to be updated frequently, I would like to use some kind of an import or link function so that I can update text in one manual and have the changes automatically appear in the other manuals. Is there a way to import a section of text (not an entire file) or am I stuck with copy and paste?
The Framemaker files will later be converted to Online Help via Webworks Publisher Professional.
Any suggestion about how I can set this up would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Sierra
