RE: AW: Conditional Text and Numbering
The real issue is that the end of flow marker (the section symbol §) ending the final paragraph can not be conditionalized, or more accurately, can not be hidden. If that final paragraph has an autonumber format, I think the solution of an unnumbered empty paragraph is a better choice as it seems equally possible that the preceding numbered paragraph will need to be in the same condition as the last numbered one, and you are in the same situation. - Lester --- Lester C.

Re: AW: Conditional Text and Numbering
Hi Winfried A thin blank line isn't quite the only fix. You can also try conditioning the paragraph mark of the *second-last* paragraph in the same way as the last paragraph. That way, when you hide the last paragraph, you also hide a paragraph mark. I think this only works if the last 2 paragraphs are tagged with the same paragraph tag, and it's definitely a pain to create and maintain, and it doesn't work if every paragraph in the flow is conditioned - but it is an alternative approach.
