>From the book window, it takes literally 5 seconds or less to do: Ctrl+A (select all files) Esc f i o (open Import Formats dialog) Alt+a (Deselect All) Alt+v (select Variable Definitions) Enter (Import) There is no built-in alternative, and I'm not sure there's much of a need. What problem are you trying to solve? How have you come to grief with this procedure? If it's something you want to automate because you forget to do it, then a FrameScript solution is probably best. An event script could import variables from the title file to the other files in the book whenever you save, print, update the book, or whatever. Richard Richard G.
