Yes, but that presupposes that you want *all* the variables from the source
file. But in my case, I have different variables in different FrameMaker
templates (for frontmatter, ToC, chapters), with only some variables, such
as the doc's part number, in all the templates. So by using BookVars, I can
easily change/add only the desired variable, to all files in the book,
without affecting any other variables.
So it depends on your setup which method is easier/quicker/applicable.
(But if you're at a company that won't allow you to install such utilities,
as is the case with John I believe, you just have to do things the manual
way. I've been at places like that, and it's always a drag on my
productivity. I'm happy to be working on my own system now where I can use
any utility that I want :-).
