Hi, John: Have you tried Find/Replace, as:
* Create the new variable. * Insert one instance of it. * Copy to clipboard. * Find an instance of the old variable. * Replace by pasting. If this works, open all files in the book, save all files in the book, then Find/Replace across the book. Check representative replacements across the book before saving all files.
