Hi, Mary. You *need* "BookVars" from Leximation (www.leximation.com<http://www.leximation.com>) - Scott Prentice has done a great job on this. It is my most heavily used add-on to FrameMaker and I recommend it highly.
You can download a trial from the site above ... basically, you edit an external text file (either directly from the tool or with a *text* editor - *not* a word-processing tool) and change all the content of the variables and then read them into the document or book in FrameMaker. You start that text file going from a FrameMaker document by outputting the current variable values (using the menu item for the tool), and then edit it later with a text editor.

Greetings-- Every now and then I find myself having to change the content of many variables in a short period of time. I've never been able to find a way to do this without resorting to the mouse. Is there a trick I'm missing? I'm hoping so! Thanks, MaryHS -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
