Easy way of handling conditional text

2009-10-09 Thread Andersen, Verner Engell VEA
Hi

I have FM8. I use several conditional text settings in my documents. The
issue is that some are only used in one chapter.

Some chapter may be unconditional, i.e. "paper" only, some "paper" and
"online", some "release x + 1" etc.

So far I have imported all conditions to all chapters even if they were
not used in the chapter. If, for example, I want to set all chapters to
"paper" I import conditional text settings from a chapter alreasdy set
to "paper" to all chapters in the book.

It works fine but it is a bit annoying having conditional text tags in
chapters that do not need them.

Do you have any other ways of handling conditional text.

Regards,

You don't need to import condition settings to show the "paper"
condition throughout the book. In the book window, select all files.
Then select View > Show/Hide Conditional Text and make the settings you
want in the dialog box. 

That said, what's annoying about having condition tags in chapters that
don't need them? It's not like they're constantly getting in the way.
