Hi We us a variable for our product name in our manuals. Onrof our manuals reflects 3 products. So we publish 3 different product manuals where the product name is respectively Polaris, Saturn or Pyxis. It works fine much better than conditional text. When we have to publish a new product manual we have to open one of the book files open the name variable and type the new name. Then we import the variable to the whole book. However, it would be nice if we didn't have type the new variable name whenever we had to make a new product manual. Suppose you could say if conditional text is Polaris then use variable name "Polaris". That would be nice. I don't think this is possible. Of course I could use conditional for the hundreds of times the product name is mention in the manual. That method is difficult and will result in product names being tagged incorrectly. Please tell me if you have a genious way of attaching a variable to a condition tag.
