Correct settings for using varDisplayTopic Title and varTopicTitle

Question

Say I have a module 20 screens long (CP4 by the way) with four topics. The template I'm using was set up by someone else, but had the $$varDisplayTopicTitle$$ and the $$varTopicTitle$$  already defined.
Titles are assigned TopicTitle01 through TopicTitle04 in the Project>Actions, along with varDispalyTopicTitle.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first page of my first topic shold be set to:
Label: Topic01 Page01
On slide enter: Assign
Assign: varTopicTitle01
with: Understanding Our Products
For the pages following topic 01, what should my settings should be?  Do I need to label every page (e.g., Topic 01 Page 02, Topic 01 Page 03) after the first Topic page?  Do I use Execute Advanced Action and Set Topic Title for the pages to follow.    Or do I use the Assign again?
Much thanks in advance!

Hello,
OK, now it is very clear, thanks to the screenshots.
From your first screenshot, I deduct that you already created the 3 extra user variables you do need: varTopicTitle11, varTopicTitle12 and varTopicTitle13. And I think you gave them as values the complete title of each topic.
How do I wish that Captivate 5 were already there, this kind of actions is so much easier to create there (I'm not an Adobe employee, be sure, just happy to have been a tester for this new version).
Will try to explain step by step: you'll have to add 3 more conditions to your already long action SetTopicTitle. They are quite similar to all the (10) others, so for Topic11 it will be:
Check if     cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel contains Topic11
  Begin
  varDisplayTopicTitle = varTopicTitle11
  End
Nothing is needed as Else statement.
Do not know if you ever wrote such an action? The interface is a bit 'clumsy' (explains my sigh about CP5). After choosing the action, scroll to the end after the last statement:
select 'Add statement'
use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, for the first action, choose Condition
after 'Check if' select 'Select variable', use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, choose varDisplayTopicTitle
select 'is equal to', use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, choose contains
double-click (or space bar) to choose variable out of choice between variable and value
open the dropdown list with variables (space bar) and choose varTopicTitle11
You can leave the rest as it is. Repeat the same steps for the two other Topics.
Since you are using the same advanced action on each start of Topic, there you'll have nothing to change.
Hope this helps?
