[snipped] I've heard of that work-around, but did not mention it as I as making a direct comparison between the programs.

Interesting idea--I wrote about a similar work-around for Layers Magazine a while back for faking condition in-line text in CS3 (which could be done without a script), but the script idea is interesting. I've been suggesting to my clients that if possible, put all the unconditional content in a separate table, then the conditional content is their own tables directly following the unconditional. Then adjust the style settings to butt the tables together.
