Sharing user-defined variables in RH7

Question

RH7 lets you define user variables in a project... is there a
way to import them from one project into another?

I figured out the answer to my own question; will include
here in case others are looking.

The RH7 help doesn't say that the variables are stored in
rhvariable.apj -- simple XML so you can copy the whole file into
another RH project, or edit the variables in the file (using
Notepad, etc.) and copy/paste from one project rhvariable.apj file
to another if they share a number of variables.

Thank you! This works in RH8 also.I added frequently used results statements to the list of user defined variables. In those statements, time-consuming screen tip text is added to image properties of buttons, text is bolded according to writing standards, and hyperlinks of pop-ups can be applied.Another discovery shared by a teammember: Placeholder text for fieldnames or other content can be used in a user defined variable statement. After importing the statement, simply right-click the text where inserted in the topic, select Remove Attribute, and replace the placeholder text with specific content.The fact that I can share this with multiple authors on my project using this advice is greatly appreciated!
