Is there any easy way to import a layout from one Filemaker Pro
document to another?  I am looking to join several filemaker pro files,
 and my template has changed,  and would like to import the different
layout forms that i made for the different files into one master
file... thanks!!!

You may create a blank layout of the required size in your new file,
select all on the old layout in layout mode, copy and paste onto the new
layout.
Filemaker automatically connects the layout fields to your data fields
if the field names on the two layouts are equal. Otherwise you have to
double-click each layout field to assign a data field to it. The same
goes for the connections between buttons and scripts. You should do this
immediately after pasting the layout objects.
