Track Edits - Can we change their color and format...

Hey everyone. Does Framemaker allow changing the default green and red for track edits? Even just removing the underline or strikethrough? I've looked everywhere, and it seems it isn't possible, but it's really hard to believe. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your answer linsims! Only now had I the time to properly reply. So, if I have a book made of 10 .fm files, where would I set the variables and conditional text? In a copy of the same book with 10 files? The conditional text, I've been testing it and it its very straightforward to understand. Variables, not so much. I would kindly ask you to follow through the following example: - Having one document (book) in Framemaker that is made of 10 fm files (Lets say Chapter 1, 2, 3, up to 10) - I want to use it to produce a document without Chapter 9 and 10, and in the new document I want to replace all the words "NO" with "YES". What's the best way for me to produce these two outputs? Thank you for all the help! Just now starting working with Framemaker, and I just love this tool. I can smell the amount of possibilities it allows, but amidst all of the work that has to be delivered, I do not have enough time to explore it properly.

Hello all, I write and maintain documentation for two different companies, but the software that I document is used by both. So, I maintain two different documents which are 80% the same. Structure wise, it is exactly the same, it differs in hardware and technical names, some procedures, etc. My question is: does Framemaker 2019 (currently using 2017 but planning an upgrade) allow me to, using variables/conditional/anything else possible for all the differences between the two documents, work with only one .fm file, and through it, produce two different PDFs? Thanks for the help! If my description was not clear enough, just ask me specific questions about it, I will be glad to answer. This would really help me, and I would be grateful for any inputs you may have. Thanks!
