Re: [Framers] Unresolved Xref
And I forgot to add this resolves the issue of unresolved x-refs.

Re: [Framers] Unresolved Xref
Hi Doug, I work with Text insets and conditions and I have run into this before. I won't' bore you w/ all the ins and outs, but after I do this once, I don't have this issue again: 1.) Turn on All the conditions in the text inset file and make sure that the where appropriate, the pilcrows are also conditionalized. Always leave all the conditions turned on for the inset. 2.) Open all the books that use the inset. 3.) Set the conditions appropriately in each book and update each book. 4.) Close all files in each book and save the book. Now, when the text inset is pulled into a book file (the container file), it inherits the conditional text settings of the container file, so even if you have all conditions showing in the text inset by itself, when it is viewed in a container file, only the text that matches the conditions in the container file >>SHOULD<< be displayed. There are more tricks and tips that I can provide about insets in a separate presentation that I have done if you are interested.
