Yes .. by definition, a single variable in a single file cannot have
more than one value based on its location in the document (unless it's a
special variable like $curpagenum). However, you could create a script
or plugin that could process a file to create different variables or
strings from one variable that would have differing values in different
areas of that document.

Hey Patrick,
As far as I know, there is no way to make a single variable have two
different values in the same file, and if you insert two separate variables
in a table title, they'll both show up for every page that title is
displayed on.
Some of the scripters might have a different answer for you. :)

I have a document that contains a table that spans 264 pages. We need to
number each page with a sheet number. Table 1 (Sheet 1 of 264) on the first
page and each subsequent page will just contain the sheet number. Table 1
(sheet 2) and so on. I'm trying to use a variable that can be inserted
after the table number inside of the title. Variable Table Sheet (Sheet
<$tblsheetnum> of <$tblsheetcount>) will be the first page, second and
subsequent pages will use (Sheet <$tblsheetnum>). Since I have to insert
the variable on the title I can only insert it on the first page, which
prevents me from using two different variables.
I'm not sure how to create a variable to output one value on the first
page then something different on subsequent pages. We have a table
continued attribute that is inserted on the table title but does not
display until after the first page. I'm not sure how that works, but it is
similar to what I need to in this case. Any assistance will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat
