Version and name in footer for all chapters in FM 12 Unstructured .

[jvdm_engineer]

I want to place a variable called "version" and a variable called "name" of a product on the  title page (first page in the book) . Then these varaibles should be placed in the footer of each chapter in the book. At this moment i will haven to change each footer per chapter. Is there a way to achieve this? Johan v.d.Mark

Decide which component file is the defining instance for the Variables of interest (commonly it's the cover or other 1st file).

Make the changes there.

In the Book menu, have the defining component file open.
Select all other files in Book (they don't have to be open).

File > Import > Formats

Import from Document: [ <set name> ]

[ Deselect All ]

Variable Definitions

[ Import ]

Alternatively, the other component files can Cross-Reference, by paragraph text, to some use of the Vars in the defining file. No batch import required. Just Update Book.

And if there were only 2 ways to do it, it wouldn't be Frame ... store the text strings in text files name.txt and version.txt. Import them everywhere as Text Insets.
