Structured FrameMaker lets you add Text Insets in EDD

April 27th, 2009 · View Comments · How To

You can add ‘text insets’ into Adobe FrameMaker if you want to reuse content.  You can import a document into another document as a reference and update the content when the source document changes.
The Adobe Tech Comms blog highlight that you can also use text insets in EDD,  enabling you to re-use context level formatting rules and elements across elements and structured applications.

Here is how it’s done.

  1. Copy the re-usable component from an existing EDD
  2. Go to reference pages
  3. Insert a text frame
  4. Paste the element definition in the new text frame
  5. Add a tag to text frame
  6. Come back to Body Pages
  7. Select the element and delete it
  8. Import the element definition from the same EDD.  Please select reference flow and tag name of the text frame to identify the content.

Bingo! You have created a re-usable element definition.
