Hi Alison, I guess I wasn't clear. The text is already in a variable. The problem is that there are 3 different legalese variables I could use depending on audience and a couple other factors. One variable is used when the document is only for us; the other two are variations for external customer

If the footer text is the only External text you need then it doesn't have to be a condition, it can be a variable instead. Create an "External" variable file with a single "Proprietary Footer" variable (containing the proprietary footer text) and an "All Other" variable file with a single - bu

The company has standardized on Frame, so Flare is not an option. We really need to be in DITA. We were doing that before we were acquired and the centralized technical communications department got siloed to individual business units, and my new boss decided that he wanted me to use unstructured

I found FrameMaker's conditions became hard to use and maintain with even three overlapping deliverables: in one case, for students, teachers, and system administrators, in another customers, managers, and sysadmins. Flare's reuse features are much more manageable and transparent for more complex

Excellent idea. You could even configure a script to put corresponding page numbers in the plain text document so that when you found the text in the text copy, you could more easily locate the text in the FrameMaker document. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-366-4017 r...@frameexpert.com

Would it be an option for you to keep a copy of every FM document in plain text? This is not as cumbersome as it sounds, since you can install an Extendscript which saves the plain text copy automatically whenever you choose File > Save. I've set up something similiar to have a readable copy for G

Hi Andrey... You may have better luck asking this question on the framemaker-dita Yahoo list. Also, providing a bit more information would probably help as well (in particular, your FM version and OT version). It's very possible that the OT build scripts have changed enough that the FM conne
