Conditional fonts/paragraph tags? is it possible?

I know that I can conditionalize some text for ConditionalFlagA and other text for ConditionFlagB and show/hide the conditional text and it will be shown/hidden.

I know I can  repeat a paragraph and make it bold and conditionalized for ConditionFlagA and non-bold for ConditionFlagB.

 

Let's say the entire document needs to be Arial 10 Bold for ConditionalFlag A and Calibri 11 Normal for ConditionalFlagB, but the textual content is the same.

 

Is there a way to do that without copying all of the text and repeating it and conditionalizing it and then having to update it in two places if I need to edit - which defeats the main advantage of conditional text?

 

(Or making an ESTK script to change the show hide conditions and change the font that way.)

 

Right now, this is a hypothetical, but I do have some practical applications for it.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

In this case, you wouldn't use Conditions at all. You would simply have two templates; one would use Arial 10 Bold for the paragraph/character formats (and master page items, etc., if appropriate) and the other would use Calibri 11 Normal. To switch back and forth, you would open your book or document and the appropriate template and choose File > Import > Formats to import the formats from the template.
