<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I highly recommend the BookVars plugin from Leximation. I use it to do exactly what you describe in one step. I have several variables that have the same name
in all books but different definitions in each book. I maintain a single, master variable file for all of my books, then simply import the set of definitions for that particular book. The BookVars plugin bypasses the Variables pod so you don’t have to edit
each variable with multiple clicks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I have a template with a series of built in variables that have generic content until used in a specific document.<br>
<br>
Double-clicking on a variable brings up the variables pod where I then have to click Edit to bring up the window wherein I can actually change the content of the variable.<br>
<br>
Does anybody know a way to do this in one step? (My current process is clearly a more complicated way to have to change variable content than the old interface provided.)<br>
<br>
If a one-step edit is not possible, can Adobe please add a modifier key that can be pressed when doubled clicking on a variable so that the Edit window is immediately available?<br>
<br>
Apologies if I'm doing things the hard way and an obvious solution is available. Please clue me in if that is the case.<br>
<br>
Thanks, framers!<br>
