Deidra, There are at least two ways to set it up that will accomplish the same thing.
1. Define the variables you need in the Title Chapter, then import them into all of the other chapters. Insert the variables themselves wherever you need them. When a change is needed, change the variables in the Title chapter and import them into the rest of the chapters again. 2. Define the variables in the Title chapter as before. Insert each one at least once in a paragraph by itself in the Title chapter, even on a master page that you never use. In the paragraph with each variable, insert a cross-reference marker. In each place you need the text cross-reference back to the appropriate marker. If you change one of the variable definitions, all the other instances will update when the book is updated.

It would make more sense that they are variables throughout? I don't think I am acutally referencing them, just using them over and over again. Did I get the terminology right? Thanks!
