Hi Laura, I've had the same issue. I've experimented quite a bit with this.

What I eventually found worked best, was to create a PDF of the manual with the 
required conditions showing. In Acrobat, I then use Export> Word document or 
Export> RTF.

It's still messy I have to admit - you may need to do a quick edit of the 
resulting Word files to tidy them up, but it's what I now do.

Depends really if the customer wants just the text or if they want a "nice" 
version.

Hope this helps
Laura

Subject: Is it possible to export a FM file without including all of the 
conditional text?

I have a group of manuals where I use conditional text to keep track of the 
different variations.

My customer asked to have a word copy of one of the manuals. Is there a way to 
choose conditional text for the manual that I want which excludes all of the 
other conditional text in the final output? When exporting to an .rtf file, all 
of the information gets exported, even if I'm only showing the conditional text 
that I'm interested in. As a work around of last resort, I had to do a Show All 
and manually strip out everything I didn't want in the final version.

There must be a better way. I've been using v7.1, but on the trial version of 
10 I noticed the same thing happening. Does any one have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Laura Larson
