text_variables_page  
 
This page can be used to specify test merge variables and their values which can be insertted into DVD menus, disc labels and the case wrap. Variables are not special objects, they are merely text objects. What makes them a variable is for the exact string value of the text object to be listed as a variable name. If the exact text of a variable name exists as a text object in menus, labels or case wraps, the variable name will be replaced with the substitution value at runtime. If you have a text object that was not intended to be a variable but it happens to have the same text as a variable name, it will be treated as a variable. Because of this, it is a good idea to adopt a unique naming convention for your variable names that will hopefully avoid this potential conflict.
