Updating several values in a table
You can update several values in a table (or elsewhere in a document) by importing a MIF file.
To update a table, insert a table in a FrameMaker document and create user variables for the values you want to
update (see your user's manual); then insert the variables in the table where you want them.
To change the values of the variables, create a MIF file with new variable definitions. You can create MIF variable
definitions from sources such as records in a database, values in a spreadsheet, or data gathered from measurement
equipment. For example, the following MIF file defines two variables:
<MIFFile 8.00>
<VariableFormats
<VariableFormat
<VariableName `90 Revenue'>
<VariableDef `2,342,165'>
