Hi Peter I gathered from Steve's second email that he was trying to change a user variable not a system variable, because he said it was "a document version number". But anyway, I just tried this:
<MIFFile 7.00> # Generated by FrameMaker 7.0p578 <VariableFormats <VariableFormat <VariableName `Current Page #'> <VariableDef `test'> > # end of VariableFormat > # end of VariableFormats # End of MIFFile and it changed the page number to "test". Cheers, Rebecca >>> Peter Gold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 17/11/05 12:47 >>> Rebecca: Have you had similar success with system variables? I seem to recall that my quick test didn't work for a system variable. Steve: I'm not sure if you understood that you can find/replace on master pages, by performing find/replace with master page view active.
