David,

Create a library and store the item in there as an asset. Switch to the other document and place the asset in your new document.

As long as the page dimensions are the same, it will appear on the page in the same place (even if it doesn't, you could put the coordinates into the asset description and use them to know where to put the asset after you place it.

Note that when you place an asset it is selected, so you can get a reference to the new item you just created by setting a variable to item 1 of the selection.

Dave
