I'd like to reuse layers in multiple pages. Ideally, I'd like to save layers
to a clipboard that would persist across sessions. Possible?

I have not looked at this feature yet, but my understanding is that elements
"included" on a page cannot float on top of other elements, as layers do.

That's incorrect. Any HTML can be included in a page, including absolutely

positioning will actually be relative to the page using the include page)

I tried the page include feature, but that's not what I'm after.
1) I want to be able to create items that can float on top of other items.
Layers seem to be the way to do this.
2) I want to reuse layers on other pages -- but I want to position the
items/layers on each page differently. I do not see how an element on one
page can be "included" on five different pages, each in different locations.
Am I missing something?
Anyone who is familiar with Visio's Stencils... ultimately, that's the kind
of functionality I'm looking for in FP.

To float items you would need to use Layers, and the FP Include Page component, would not allow you
to do this unless the item and the layer where insert via the Include Page.
Using the FP Include Page component, you can insert it's content anywhere on a page (works best when
using tables), it doesn't have to be in the same spot on each page.

Use layers in the Include Page, but set the position of the layers
using embedded stylesheets in each page.

I'm following the instructions to include a page on another page, but the
page always inserts into the same place. Example: I have a page with a red
box in the upper left corner. If I insert this "page" into another page, the
red box always shows up in the upper left corner, regardless of where my
insertion point is.
What this means is that I cannot insert "pages" into multiple pages and
position them independently.

I appreciate the info, Ron, but I'm looking for an EASY way to do this. If
you are familiar with Visio's Stencils -- that's what I'm looking for. An
easy way to add the same element to multiple pages. FP's Clipboard looks like
it might fit the bill. Unfortunately, the Clipboard dumps everything upon
exiting the program. What's up with that?

Is the red box absolutely positioned? If it is, it will always be at
the same place regardless of where the definition for the box is in
the HTML.
You need to remove the positioning information from the include file,
and add it in the target pages using embedded CSS.

As a workaround, I guess I'll just copy the element/layers that I need to the
Clipboard, then paste them to various other pages from there. Kind of a pain,
but probably the best FP can do for now.
