Conditional text printing color

We are using FM 12 on a Windows 7 (64 bit) platform.

I have the same question as the original post.

We have several conditional tags throughout all of our content. We plan on setting the condition to get the content we want prior to the final publishing process.

HOWEVER, we want the conditional text to be totally transparent to our target audience. (Why should they see green, blue, and black text?)

It sounds like there is no global way to hide conditional tags just prior to printing or saving to PDF. Is that correct? We are going to have to go into each and every chapter, deselect the "Show Condition Indicators" option, save the chapter, and then print or save to PDF?  Then, when we go back to editing the content again, we have to return to each and every chapter and reselect the option?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Hi,

I do not know, if I understand you correctly.

In the "Show/Hide Condtiional Text" pod there is the option

"Show Condition Indicators". Just deactivate this option.

Then your condtional text is shown as if it would not have

any condition applied. Your text will have the colour of your

paragraph or character format.

This is for FrameMaker 11, but this option existed also

in earlier versions.

Best regards

Winfried

What version of FM? In my FM11 copy, you can edit the conditional text attributes via the Conditional Text panel and click on the little pen icon to edit.
