No, the scope of user variables is deliberately file by file. But it is easy to import the values of all variables from one file into all files in a book using the File>Import>Formats command and importing *only* the "Variable Definitions" property. (Be very careful about importing properties you do not want to set globally because the import operation cannot be undone.) Note that the import of variables is additive. All variables that are defined in the source file will be updated in the target files or added to the target files if they are not already present there. But variables that are in the target files but not in the source file will not be affected in any way. This means that you may want to adopt the practice of creating an otherwise empty template file that defines only the variables you want to change globally. Also note that the definitions of system variables such as date variables and the running header/footer variables are affected by the import formats operation. If you do not want this to happen, you might want to investigate a third-party plug-in that allows you to selectively import format properties. -Fred Ridder _______________________________________________
