My own preference is to document templates in the dummy body text frame on the master pages. Anything that is contained in the body frame on a master page does not appear on the body pages, ever; only the "background" (e.g. header and footer) frames of the master pages hold content that actually appears on the body pages. One advantage to putting the template meta-data on a master page is that it's much easier to find it there (particurly if you put it on one of the default master pages) than to have to find the right reference pages. And unlike a variable, you have *lots* of room to describe the template (e.g. what has been changed/added since the last version) and even show examples as well as identifying the template version by number and/or date. -Fred Ridder _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself wherever you are.
