You need to open the master page view for each separate file before you can find and replace on the master pages. It's a pain in the neck.
However, if all the files use the same master pages you can fix them in one file and then import the page layouts into all the other files. Finally, after you insert the first cross reference or variable copy it to the clipboard. When you use search and replace pick replace by paste instead of insert text.

Four out of four peple think the user variable is the way to go, so I'll try that. However, can I do a find and replace or do I have to replace the text with the user variable by hand? And how do I do a find and replace for the master pages, anyway? It only worked for the body pages. Thanks so much! the little ray of sunshine, Deirdre _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/clint.owen%40craneae rospace.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
