Hi Carol, Instead of using the header/footer variable and a marker for the manual title, create a new variable called something like "book title." Put that variable on your master pages where the header/footer variable currently is. Then you'll simply need to import page layouts and variables from the corrected file to the rest. You can then delete your <$marker1> markers because you won't need them any more. The next time you need to change the book title, you simply change the variable in one file and import it into the rest.
We create an "import from" file for each of our books. That file contains all of the specific variables for the particular book it goes with. In our case, we change the manual title, part number, product line, and a few other things in the "import from" file and import that information into all files in the book. Hope that helps!
