I also highly recommend BookVars from Leximation ...  it is my most often used add-on to FrameMaker.

Additionally, BookVars from Leximation is an excellent program for managing variables, and cheap too.

Perhaps the most elegant way to use the variables method is to save the definitions as a MIF fragment and eliminate any chance of mucking anything else in your files.

I refer to "Using MIF Fragments to Update Catalog Settings" on p. 581 of my book whenever I need to do this.

I'd do it via a variable placed on the master page. Just import variables from a clean template (i.e. one that won't redefine other possibly used variables) across the range of files that need to be updated.

I have a document that changes very frequently, sometimes every month. The client likes to have a "version" in the header, such as "March 2013 Version", "April 2013 Version," etc.  Is there a way to globally revise all of my master pages in the book from say March to April in the header title? I'm currently running FM10 and would prefer to do this without using framescript since not everyone working with these documents has framescript.  Thanks in advance for the help.
