I also highly recommend BookVars from Leximation ... it is my most often used add-on to FrameMaker.

The client likes to have a "version" in the header, such as "March 2013 Version", "April 2013 Version," etc. Is there a way to globally revise all of my master pages in the book from say March to April in the header title? I'm currently running FM10 and would prefer to do this without using framescript since not everyone working with these documents has framescript. Thanks in advance for the help.
