Re: removing condition tags across book?
Very slick tool, thank you. Took me a couple of tries to figure out the UI but it was fast and easy once I figured it out. I still had to save the .book as .mif and delete the unused conditions there.

Yep, Rick's FindChangeSpecial plugin does that: http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/findchangespecial/index.htm -j On 2012-03-20 17:57, Lief Erickson wrote: What version of FrameMaker are you using?

Re: removing condition tags across book?
I'm looking for a quick and easy way to do it. Since the conditions aren't used they're not causing any problems so I can't justify wasting much time getting rid of them. I think there used to be a utility that would do that. The features that show which tags and conditions are used is in my experience buggy, they show false positives or negatives all the time. I already took inventory by searching for the conditions since I needed to figure out not only if they were used but for what purpose(s).

RE: removing condition tags across book?
What version of FrameMaker are you using? There used to be a plugin called CleanImport will do what you want. It's $15, but does not work with FrameMaker v10. http://www.electropubs.com/ez_cleanimport3.html Also, I'm sure Rick Quatro has a FrameScript that could do this.
