The BookVars plugin from Leximation will do all of this. It's an excellent plugin.

Subject: Variables based on paragraph tags at the book level?

Is there a way to use the 12 built-in Running H/F variables in FrameMaker to pull in text based on paragraph tags that appear only in other documents within the book?

For example, it'd be nice if I could define – in the footer of each chapter in a book – the Running H/F variables to pull in the document title, product name, and version number based on what appears on the book's title page (based on paragraph tags that are used only in the title page file).

Or, is the only way to set up those kinds of book-wide variables to define our own variables in one file and import them to all the other files in the book?

Thanks in advance,

Jason Nichols
