Hidden text in frame 11

[Guest]

Frame 11, unstructured Book, how can I make one book hidden text?

Are you talking conditional text? What are you trying to achieve?

[Guest]

One of my contractors set up a book in Frame 11, one of the books I want to hide part of that book.  I highlighted the text and special, conditional text, conditional text, select current at bottom of screen, click the conditional button, hidden in the list and In button.  No hidden like tag shows and when I show/hide conditional text it doesn't disappear.

Frame 11 is new to me, but as originally stated this is unstructured so I thought it would work.

Thanks,

Are you looking to make a book or .fm file conditional, or trying to conditionalize content in a FrameMaker file?

books and chapters can't be conditional, but if you just want content within a Fm file to be conditional, highlight the text, and use the Ctrl+4 key to bring up the SmartInsert for conditional text. Select the condition you want, and you're done.

For more info, see the 20 page chapter on Conditional Text in my book/epub.
