Question

Can't select more than ONE conditional text tag in FrameMaker 10?

Hi, I work with lots and lots of Conditional Text (CT) tags in FrameMaker. We moved to v10, and now I can't select more than ONE CT tag at a time---this means when I need to apply 10 CT tags to one item, I have to select the item, click one tag, click In, and then click Apply---3 clicks, 10 separate times = 30 clicks! (I used to be able to select the item, select all the CT tags I wanted applied into the In box, and then click Apply.) This is very frustrating. I've tried to click all the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys separately and then try and select more than one tag, but nothing works. Please help---this is going to be a nightmare for me if this can't work!

Please help and show me that I can add more than one tag to an item at a time. Thanks so much!!!

    Unfortunately, this capabiliy wasn't carried over to the Conditional Text pod when the new interface design was created. You're stuck selecting the tags one at a time and then applying a condition. It's a bit faster if you select the conditions sequentially, then you have fewer clicks for applying subsequent tags to the same content.

    I fully agree that this sucks.
