One possibility for handling conditions in insets without applying the
conditions is to set up a very simple structured document and manage
conditions using attributes.
Wait - don't have a heart attack!
It is possible to set up an extremely simple structure that doesn't do

Hi Gary,
Here is an idea for solving this with a script. Each text inset has a
Unique property, which acts as a serial number for the inset. This number
remains constant, even after the inset is updated. You could follow a
workflow similar to this.
1) Import and correctly conditionalize your
Not sure I understand the problem. But I am
interested because I use text insets (several
hundred) and conditional text formats (twenty).
Let's say that Doc1 has a text inset Doc2 which
has three conditional formats A, B, and C.
If in Doc1 I want to see only the content of Doc2
that is
