I haven't followed this thread closely, but if you have a book, you don't have to import formats file by file. You open your source file, bring the book to the front, select the components that you want to update, and do File > Import > Formats. In addition, there are a couple of third-party tools to help you. One is my ImportFormatsSpecial plugin, which allows you to import user variables and system variables separately. Another is FrameScript, which allows you to add your own "super" variable functionality to FrameMaker. Of course, it takes some time and scripting expertise (or money to buy a script), but for the most part, the sky is the limit. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com
