hi,
Is there any method to define variables in RhoboHelp like in Framemaker. I want to create variables to hold product names and version numbers.

Help appreciated!!
Thanks.

It depends on what version of RH you are using. The ability to add variables
came in with RH7 (I think) and allows you to create a variable for things like
product name and assign a value to it. When the value is changes, all instances
of the variables are automatically changed.

Hi Colum,

I have access to version 7.0 but my current projects are in 5.0. If you can guide me to where I can find this in 7.0 I will convert my projects to 7.0.

Thanks much!

There is a Variables pod in RH7. It is displayed by default but you can access
it from the View menu. Just be aware that there is no going back to RHX5 once
you have opened a project in RH7. Best to take a backup first so you have a way
out. You shouldn't need it but I'm just a cautious person at heart.
