Condition Indicator Inconsistent Error Message --- But All Book Files Have Same Settings!

[_smathers6634_]

Help! I have used the same FrameMaker files for over 2 years in a book and all files have conditional text (CT) tags applied. I added a new one today and now every time I update the book, a Book Error Report says that a condition indicator for one of my older tags (not the new one) is inconsistent --- but what is strange is, I checked the CT tags in each file in the book, and they ALL have the same exact settings, which are "Show All" and "Show Condition Indicators." Can someone help? I have saved the file as an MIF, turned the indicators off and then on, and still cannot get this fixed --- any help from anyone would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Add'l Info & Correction:

This happened after a Windows Svc Pack 3.0 was auto-downloaded on my machine on the 8th---IT uninstalled the 3.0, but it may have corrupted my FM files...does anyone have any info on this? I have a backup from the day before, but I have down a lot of work to the file since and would hate to loose all the work. If someone could help me get the file back up to par, that would be SO wonderful! Thanks

Maybe it is telling you that one of the conditional DEFINITIONS is inconsistent, not the hide/show consistency. For example, maybe a condition in one file is red with no underlining and in another it is red with underlining; that is an inconsistency, even though the condition is on in both files.

Thank you so much Van, your advice made me look at something and figure out what happened!
