How to insert, merge linked text frames into existing long linked frame story?

I have a book with a single story, many linked frames/pages. The index takes 4 pages in the last part of the book, but not the final pages. I have regenerated the index and it is 4 pages of linked frames in a separate story in extra pages I generated at the end of the book. I selected the new index pages from the pages panel and moved them to the proper location in the book. I want to delete the old index & pages, but that still leaves me with two stories with the main story frames jumping around the index story frames. I want the index to be part of the main story so that if the text expands the index will move.
In short, insert and merge a story and its associated text frames in the middle of another story.
My move pages approach got it in the right location, but it will not float if the page count changes.
The only way I can see to do this is go back to my new index, select it all in the story editor, copy it, go to story editor on the original story, and paste in the proper location. This works, but it seems as if there should be a way of also doing it with frames, in ports, out ports, etc.

I must be unclear on the concept. I moved my new index into the existing story between the two desired pages. This shows the original story on the left with the text threads going around the inserted Index story:
Now I click the outport of the text frame on the left and alt click into the Index frame. That overwrites the contents of Index.
Not what I want. I actually want to split the text as well, and just thread thru the index frames and then continue with the original story. I did the above as a test case. For my actual problem, copying the index story in story mode, and pasting it over the appropriate text in the original story solved my problem.

  • How do I merge 105 PDF's into a Single PFD?

    How do I merge 105 pdf's into a single PDF.

    So, I'm not the only one unable to merge docs thru Preview.
    This is why I wrote my own script to do that.
    --[SCRIPT join_PDFs]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : join_PDFs.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
    aller au menu Scripts , puis choisir join_PDFs
    Vous pouvez également enregistrer le script en tant qu'application.
    Vous pourrez alors glisser déposer les icônes de PDFs à fusionner sur celle du script.
    J'ai trouvé le code principal dans une page Web.
    --=====
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    Sous 10.6.x,
    aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
    puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: join_PDFs.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
    go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "join_PDFs"
    You may also save the script as an application.
    Then you will be anle to drag an drop PDFs icons on the script one.
    I found the main code in a Web page.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
    Under 10.6.x,
    go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
    and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

  • How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

    1. SELECT INTO
    Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
    Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
    Go
    ---Insert data using SELECT INTO
    SELECT AddressLine1, City
    INTO BothellAddresses
    FROM Person.Address
    where City = 'Bothell';
    GO
    ---VERIFY DATA
    Select AddressLine1, City
    FROM BothellAddresses
    ---DROP TABLE
    DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
    GO
    2. INSERT INTO SELECT
    Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
    another table.
    Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
    Go
    ---Create Table
    CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
    ---Insert into above table using SELECT
    INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
    SELECT AddressLine1, City
    FROM Person.Address
    where City = 'Bothell';
    ---VERIFY DATA
    Select AddressLine1, City
    FROM BothellAddresses
    ---DROP TABLE
    DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
    GO

  • How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
    Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.

  • How to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap

    Hi Friends,
    Please tell me how to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap.........

    Hi Alagappan ,
          In your view layout you take table UI element and then you bind it with some context nodes.
    The attributes of your nodes comes as a field.
    Now in these fields you can set various properties and image is one of them.
    Go to ->
    1. View Layout -> Right Click on ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER -> INSERT ELEMENT -> TABLE
    2. Right click on table -> Create Binding.
       Here you have to bind it with the appropriate context node.
    You will get two properties here
    a- Standard Cell Editor :- ( make it image )
    b- Standard properties :- ( If required set image properties ).
    3. If you want put image from out side then import it as a mime object and set the source of your table field ( used as a image )
    also have a look :-
