    Hi, this message just says that the settings to show or hide conditions in the single files differ from those of the first file of the book.

    It could be that this is what you want.

    If not, select all files in the book and import the condition settings from a file with the settings which you want into all other files; deselect all settings which should not imported (Files | Import Formats).

    Then update the book again.

    Best regards, Winfried

    As Winfried mentioned, FrameMaker is correctly telling you that things are inconsistent.

    If you don't want to import stuff from other files, the quickest fix is to select all the files in your book, and then choose Hide (or Show) Conditional Text Indicators as needed.

     

    Be sure to close the Book Error Report first, so you don't panic when you run across it later 😉
