The easiest way IMHO is to use the markers "Header/Footer $1" and/or "Header/Footer $2" and reference these in the footer with, say, "RunningH/F 3" and/or "RunningH/F 4" resp., which read these markers. These two markers and system variables are there to meet the need of showing a revision number (letter or number) and a revision date, both extensively used in aviation documentation.
You put the marker(s) somewhere on the first page of each chapter and enter whatever letter or number you want to use for the revision status in the text box. If you need to show different revision numbers in any other page in the same chapter (file), just repeat the action for that page, and then every page that has a different revision status from the page before.

Hi I am using unstructured Framemaker 7.2 All my FM book files contain all master pages, all variables, all reference pages etc. This means that if you accidentially copy formats from one file to anoter nothing will go wrong. My edition number in the footer is simply a global variable. Now the QA Department wants each chapter to have an editon number according to when changes were made. This means that some chapters have edition k, others edition l and so forth. Have you any idea of how I can have the various edition numbers in footer of each chapter page and still have the possibility of importing all formats from all files without messing things up? I want to avoid specific master pages for each chapter.
