I agree that the MIF fragment import is the most elegant (and was my preferred method previously), but I had no success with import from MIF fragment working with FM11. I haven't tried it with FM10. Can someone else confirm that this no longer works with FM11?

I refer to "Using MIF Fragments to Update Catalog Settings" on p. 581 of my book whenever I need to do this. -Matt Matt R.

The client likes to have a "version" in the header, such as "March 2013 Version", "April 2013 Version," etc. Is there a way to globally revise all of my master pages in the book from say March to April in the header title? I'm currently running FM10 and would prefer to do this without using framescript since not everyone working with these documents has framescript. Thanks in advance for the help.
