Okay, if I understand what you're saying, here's one approach I think you could take... Instead of using two sets of text boxes, use a set of entry fields and a set of text boxes. Put the text you think want into the "Default text" field of the entry field properties dialog box, then have a "Change Contents" action that updates the corresponding textbox with the variable for that entry field (entry fields automatically generate a variable). To make changes, all your client would need to do then would be to double-click on the entry field and change the text in the "Default text" field. (I don't *think* this would be too "scary" for them.) Of course, you'll also need to set the entry fields to not visible, so they don't show up when the course runs!Let me know if you think this will do the trick for you! Laura
