Inserting Variables into FrameMaker
You can insert a variable into a source document after you import the variables into your source document. If you want to use a variable that is not defined in an Adobe FrameMaker template, you must create the variable in your source document before you can insert it. For more information about importing or creating variables, see Importing or Creating Variables in FrameMaker.
