After you have added or updated a content variable, it will be listed in the Utilities >
Content Variable drop-down menu and also in the Content Variables palette
(Window > Content Variables). The new variable will be available when you attempt
to insert a content variable into the text.
Create a custom content variable
In addition to the existing preset content variables offered by QuarkXPress, you can
also create custom content variables to use in your projects. Custom variables are great
if you want to use text content somewhere within a text story and the same content
in a different story or at a different place. When you change the content of the custom
variable, it is changed everywhere where used.
To create a custom content variable:
1
Place the insertion point where you want the variable to appear.
2
Select Utilities > Content Variable and choose New from the drop-down menu.
The Edit Content Variable dialog displays.
3
Enter a name in the Name field.
4
Choose Custom Variable from the Type drop-down menu.
