Gobally toggle Variable field

I am upgrading to RH7 from RH5. I want to create and use variables. During the tedious process of replacing text with variables, I would like to see all replacements show up using the variable name (eg. {ProductName}) and not the value. Is there a global setting for this? I have only managed to do so individually and manually.
Thanks.

The variables appear in a green font in our environment.

Also, when we initially set-up variables, we set their values to their names. For example, CompanyName = CompanyName. Only later did we fill in the actual desired values.

We managed to run a careful search-and-replace on all of our files, to replace text with variables. It took some trial and error, but it did work in the end. It was a lot faster than doing this manually, that is for sure.
