Updating variables in Framemaker 7.1 book

Question

I've certain tasks that I do repretitively over a product release. For example, the product version is updated in every release (major or minor). Product version is a variable which I set by opening each file within a book. Each book has several files and there are quite a few books to update. Going down to the file level within each book is very tedious and time consuming.

Does anybody know how to update variables at the book-level in FrameMaker 7 for Windows?

Cheers,

Rupen

In the Book Window select the files that you want to update. Then use File > Import > Formats to import the updated variables (from your master template file) to all those files in one go. Same procedure as per an individual file, except tht you are using a book file instead.
