Global Footer Change
My client is asking me to update a catalog because his company has a new owner. The catalog is about 100 pages and, at my client's request each group of pages has been set up as a separate file so there are about 40-50 files in the book. The owner's name is on the master pages in each file. Is there a way to update the owner's name globally without opening each file and revising the master page? (I tried the instructions in the FM manual without success.) I am using Frame 7.0 with Windows XP operating system. Howard Rauch Technology Transfer, Inc.

Howard, If the master pages are the same in all the chapters, make the changes in one, then use the Import Formats function to copy the page layouts from the corrected chapter into all of the others. You can do this from the book level. De-select all the other option and check Page Layouts before importing.

RE: Global Footer Change
This would be simple if the company name had been included in the master page as a reference to a variable. When I designed the templates for my former employer, I had used that approach and it meant that we were able to do the first-order rebranding of our documents with a minimal amount of work when our company was acquired. The second-order rebranding was more painful, however, because the new owner's corporate style required the template to include the corporate logo on each page, so we were stuck importing the new page layouts into every component of every book. Not fun. But am I reading you correctly that you are manually modifying the master pages in each file? No need to be *that* manual about the change. Do it once (ideally using a variable for the company name so that the next name change will be less painful) and then use FileImportFormats to import the Page Layouts to all the other component files.

Hi Howard, From the FM book, you can select all the files and import the formats from a file that has the corrected footers. When importing the formats, deselect everything except for Page Layouts.

If the company name really is in the footers, it is on the master pages, and master pages (and reference pages) are not searched when you do a book-level Find in FrameMaker. To replace a name in the footers, you'd have to open each component file individually and change the view to Master Pages before using Find. Maybe this is a case where saving everything as MIF and using a text editor makes the most sense? My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
