Suppressing variables and cross-reference formats

[SueC2009]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me with the following two questions:

I am using TCS 3 (FM 10 and RH 9) and have my FrameMaker content linked in Robohelp.l

1) Is there any way of suppressing a variable from being included in Robohelp (example, the Table Continuation variable), without having to conditionalize each instance of this variable? If conditionalizing is the only way to do this, is there a fast way to conditionalize all instances of the Table Continuation variable? (faster than doing it manually by searching and replacing).

2) Is there a way to suppress a cross-reference format from being converted to the Robohelp procedure.

Thanks.

Sue

#1 - not sure about

#2 - definitely yes - in the Conversion Settings screen in RH, when you select the FM xref, you see in the field for RH and a little sample of what it will look like - the trick is that you can type over the text to specify what you want to show - I use "<$paratext>" to change one of my "print" xrefs (xxx on page yyy)

Thanks Jeff. It seems to work sometimes (suppressing the page numbers in the cross-reference) and sometimes it does not work. I will post a separate thread about the issue I'm seeing...
