[Ken Poshedly]

Thanks Art,

I'll give it a try (as you described).

First, as you discovered, product names (and company names, I think) should always be variables.
Second, to update, just update one chapter of the book with the correct information (you may as well set it up as a variable too) so that the header is correct on the master page, save the file, then at the book level select all the component files that should match and Import Formats from your golden file. You should only have to do Variables and Master Pages. 

Save, update, and you're done.
