    There are several ways to do that, depending on the content that has to be variant.

    Conditional Text would be the most likely candidate, but using scripting and other hacks, Text Insets and actual Variables could have a role.

    You could use the "book of books" concept to structure your FM content, but I'd be looking at using text insets to handle the repetitive content.
