Stevejs, What exactly isn't happening? Using the File > Import > File for another FM file gives you two choices. Import by Reference, which creates a text inset OR import by Copy, which inserts all of the contents *in a specific flow* into your FM document. Further, you are given a choice of using either the current documents formatting or to retain the formatting from the imported document. The key point is that FM only imports a single flow at a time from another FM document. So, if you have multiple flows on the same physical page, you won't get an exact physical match to the page that you're importing. If you need page fidelity, then treat the imported document as a graphic, i.e. create a PDF and import that.
