Format of conditionalized tables?

Question

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

We create training guides that can be published to PDF as either "Instructor" or "Participant" guides. The content for the Instructor Guide is conditionalized, so we can hide it when we publish the Participant Guide.

The color we have selected for the conditionalized text is dark gray, so the guide can be printed on a B&W printer and still do a fair job of distinguishing between instructor content and participant content.

When we block a section of text to conditionalize it for the Instructor Guide, and it includes a table, FrameMaker puts gigantic gray borderlines within the cells of the table.

Does anyone know of a way to remove those thick gray borderlines for the conditionalized table, but retain the gray conditionalization for the text? (We want the entire table to "hide" when we publish the Participant Guide, but we do not want the thick gray borderlines in the table for the Instructor Guide.)

Thank you in advance,

Tim

If you conditionalize an entire table, the condition tag should only be applied to the the table anchor and no condition indicators should be showing for the table contents or on the table outlines itself.

If you change the paratag formatting for the table cells to be the same as used for the condition indicator and just conditionalize the anchor, you might get the expected results.
