Nancy, You can do it with cross references, but that can have it's own set of problems.
You need to use each variable at least once in your title chapter. Each one has to be in a paragraph by itself, possibly be on an unused master page. Then create a cross reference marker in the paragraph that contains each variable. Then cross reference from anywhere in your book back to the markers in your title chapter. Once it is set up, you can change every cross referenced copy at the same time by updating the variables in the title chapter.

Hi, all. As stated previously, I am aware of the Import function. I thought I had read of some way to set up some document features once, in the book file, and have them ripple automatically through the rest of the book files. My question is, has anyone heard of this? Thanks. > It would be great to only have to set them up once, without even using > the "Import Formats" function, through which I have come to grief more than once. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Clint.Owen at craneaerospace.com.
