This is what I do.  I put User Variables in the footers of the master pages for each file in a book (e.g. document name, publication date).  Each file in the book uses the same set of variables (even if they are not used in that file). When updating a book, I update the appropriate variables in the front page file, and then import variables from that file to all the other files in the book.  Only takes a minute or two.

Cheers

Dave

Currently, there is a user set variable (called "pubPartNumber) on my
cover page.fm, on the inside of the front cover. How can I pick up that
variable, and have it appear in the footer of all of my body pages?
    
Insert the variable in the appropriate place in the footer of the appropriate master pages (the default Left and Right, plus any custom master pages used in the body of the doc).
