Hi Stephen On your master page, draw a text frame in the footer where you want the variable to go. When it asks what kind of frame, make it a background text frame. Then you can just put the variable in that frame like normal.
Cheers Rebecca >>> "Owen, Clint" <Clint.Owen at craneaerospace.com> 6/03/12 10:30 >>> Assuming that the part number variable is in a paragraph by itself, insert a cross reference marker in the paragraph, then cross reference to the marker from wherever you need the part number to appear.

Currently, there is a user set variable (called "pubPartNumber) on my cover page.fm, on the inside of the front cover. How can I pick up that variable, and have it appear in the footer of all of my body pages? Thanks again.
