I have this question about variables in framemaker. There are a bunch
of variables, which have been used in existing documents. Now I want
to standardize them, by using standard defined variables.

Hence in effect I have to replace these old variable with a new one.
But the only way I see is the manual way to delete the variable and
create a new one. Is there a script or something which will automate
this for me.

That is, if I know the non standard variable name, it will just swap
it with the new standard variable but preserve it's definition and
hence still be reusable in future to update all its references from
one place ?

Thanks
Mann
