[Framers] Keystroke for editing variables?

I've just come back to FM after a long time working in InDesign, and beyond that it's my first experience in FM17.  There are LOTS of variables in this document, and my wrists would love less mouse-work. I know the keystrokes to bring up the variables pod. Once that's up, is there a keystroke

Re: FM8: Conditional text definitions not removed from book

The conditions also might be hiding in a text-inset that is not actually included as a file in the book. Also, after you removed all instances, did you update the book? That seems to be when Frame cleans out a lot of its lists. Mary --- On Wed, 6/9/10, Bill Swallow techcommd...@gmail.com
