deleting a variable across an entire book

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Interesting ... when I use a "Cc:" to include the FrameUsers list, I get copied back through the list eventually.

But, if I put the address in the "To:" field, it apparently does NOT come back (to me anyway) in a subsequent e-mail.

So ... did people see my first response (as shown below), or did it go away completely? If so, I will need to be more careful with my replies, I guess!

I am huge fan of the BookVars tool from Leximation ... the one FrameMaker add-on that I use the most!

Please give it a try to see if it does exactly what you need.

Subject: deleting a variable across an entire book

I have an 86-chapter book with the same variables in every chapter.
I want to convert all instances of all user variables to text.
I can delete the variable in one chapter and thus convert all instances in that chapter, but importing variable definitions across the whole book doesn't delete any variables from the other chapters.
Can anyone recommend a way to do this? (I'd rather not learn FrameScript this afternoon!)
Thanks!
