You'd still have to update the variable in every file.

And that is why I would recommend BookVars from Leximation ... my most-oft used 
tool for FrameMaker.

I would suggest using a User Variable for the address and add that to the
Master Pages. That way, you can update the Variable's Definition and the
Master Page content will be updated.

Subject: [Framers] Correcting Master Pages in FM10
Importance: High

Hi! I am working in FM10. I have a series of Master Pages that I use for my
company's publications. I need to update an address that appears in the text
of one of the Master Pages. When I work on a publication that uses that
Master Page, I can open the Master Page and make the correction. However,
the corrected address only appears in that publication. The next time I open
the Master Page to include it in another publication, the old address is
still there. I want to correct the "source" for the Master Page so that
every time I open it for future publications, it will already contain the
new address.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: [Framers] Correcting Master Pages in FM10

[Robert Lauriston]

There's no such thing. FrameMaker doesn't have a template feature. You
can import the updated master pages from that file into the other
files, provided the master pages are identical.

To update something in one place and have the change appear in
multiple documents, use text insets.
