Hi Steve

An often-overlooked feature of Indesign is that you can place Indesign documents into another, the same as an Illustrator or Photoshop file.

I would suggest, therefore, that you could copy the common content out into a separate file, make the edits, and then substitute the existing pages with the placed external file in each of the seven documents. Any future changes needed to the common pages can be done in the master copy and the link updated in each version.
