I am fairly new here and I'm in the early stages of designing a site. I have a question concerning VSD 7 so I thought I'd tap in to the collective brain of the CC forum

If I've created a footer at the bottom of my homepage which contains copyright details, and this has been duplicated to every other page of the site, then when it comes to changing the year in it annually, how can I edit this information only once so that the change appears on every page of the site?
From my experience so far it appears as though this can be done with a flash object such as a menu which has been copied to every page. To my understanding the flash menu has one source for all the pages, so if that source menu is changed only once, then VSD appears to automatically update all the pages to show the updated menu. Every single page doesn't need to be updated, only the home page, which is a good thing if there are over 100 pages!
Is there any way something like this can be done to a 'text box' footer so that one edit will then be applied to all other pages?
I hope this makes sense!
Cheers
