I'm not aware of having a variable pull a value from a different physical file. Have you ever done that before? I expect the solution is to use text insets rather than have one chapter split into multiple files. One chapter should be one physical file for sanity's sake.
Alternatively, you might have to go with different variables but I probably wouldn't go that route. (IOW, in Chapter 1, file 2, have a variable that gets the value of ChapterTitleInvisible that is in the file but doesn't display because it's in white text or is tagged with conditional text.) That would be too hard to maintain. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 11:40 AM, Tim J.
