OK, Steve solved it. The key was the length of the numeric strings that I

You can add this to the "wish list" for future releases, but FrameMaker
does currently support automatically assigning a condition based on
paragraph (character, table) tags, although it is fairly simple to
automate this via an FDK client or FrameScript.
So I'm a bit confused by Deirdre's statemen

Hi Lester and all.
Ah yes, I misunderstood condition. He wants to apply a condition tag
to a paragraph tag, is that right?
I can change the color in a paragraph tag, and I can change the color
in a condition tag, but to apply a condition tag to a paragraph tag,
that I don't know how to do.

Thanks, Peter, an interesting idea to check out.
My main motivation is to make conditions more "visible", to avoid later
confusion/errors due to conditions being a "hidden" attribute.

Do you mean if chocolate, strawberry, or neapolitan were color

This is what I would be inclined to do, what Martin suggested. It
strikes me as pointless having more master pages than the final
document page count, when instead you can simply type the date the
