That's what I suggested. Note that you can't use those in user-defined variables, you need to edit one of the system date variables. Current Date (Short) is probably the best choice.

I'd do it via a variable placed on the master page. Just import variables from a clean template (i.e. one that won't redefine other possibly used variables) across the range of files that need to be updated. Craig From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.fram

Rick's solution assumes that all components of your book use the same page layouts, specifically the exact same header/footer specifications. Otherwise, the update will wipe out the differences. Also, this approach requires you to add/update the version info to each different master page you hav

Hi Tim, check out the Running Header/Footer variables that pull content from markers, without having to change the master pages each month.
