Variables established at book level?

[Art Campbell]

Set up one file in the book with the variables the way you want 'em.
Then, in the book file, select all the files to which you want to
apply them and execute File > Import > Formats.
Select Variables. Apply.

It would be great to only have to set them up once, without even using the "Import Formats" function, through which I have come to grief more than once.
