I use two conditional text tags in my templates. "TBD" is for stuff the writers want to discuss with engineers, and "Writers_Note" is for stuff the writers only want to share with each other. I keep the template version number as a variable under the Writers_Note condition on the cover master page. If they update an existing work to a newer template, they need to update this variable manually. If they start a book from scratch, they have it by default.
The only other thing I would suggest is keeping a very detailed revision history for your templates: this has enabled me to narrow down legacy books to the proper template in short order, even when the template version variable was missing or wrong. --William Karene Millar wrote: > Hi I'm new to this group, but not to FrameMaker :) > > I am responsible for maintaining the templates at my current company > and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on the best place to > store the template version.
