Hi All,

I am a new FM2017 user. I'm editing a document with an existing template and I need to update the value of some of the variables.

Under: Insert->Variables->'Edit' (Chapter Name)->Definition field: <$chaptertitlename>

How do I change the value of this building block? Do I overwrite it with a simple text?

Thank you,

Vicki

What are you looking to change it to?

Hi Jeff,

Eventually I was able to change the chapter name via

View->Master pages

Where I've typed in the new name.

Initially I was trying to type in the new title via:

Insert->variables->edit

I found <$chaptertitlename> typed in in the definition field. I didn't want to overwrite it, but I wasn't sure how to assign the new title name to this building block. I still wonder if there's a way to access all the sys variables from a single location...

Thanks,

Vicki

system ones will just pick up their values automatically - there's no need to set them
