I'm using FrameMaker 6.0.
I have a book with many conditions in it. Within the conditional text,
there are cross-references. Some of the cross-references are to text
marked with the same conditions and therefore shown at the same time.
Some of the cross-references are to text that is unconditional, so
that the cross-reference text to a heading, etc. might be hidden.
The cross-references are formatted to show the heading text and page number.
Here's my problem: When I show all conditions and update the
cross-references, the page numbers are automatically updated, but they
lose their condition tag. When I then hide the conditions, the page
number still shows, because it became unconditional. (If I manually
update the cross-reference, it will pick up the condition again.)
Example:
"For more information, refer to Starting your System on page 23."
("Starting your System on page 23" is the cross-reference)
This entire sentence can be hidden with conditional text. However,
when I updated cross-references with all conditions showing, "on page
23" remains unconditional and therefore shows when I hide the
conditions.
This seems to happen consistently to the same cross-references,
although I cannot seem to find a pattern across my book.
Sounds similar to the bug where one of two consecutive character formats
present in a cross-reference format is removed when you Update References
through a book.
Please see Adobe tech note #317963, "Updating a FrameMaker 6.0 or 5.x Book
File Removes Character Formats in Cross-References"
--http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/317963.html -- it may have
information related to the problem you experience. This bug is not specific
to FrameMaker 6 or 5.x, and is encountered in FrameMaker 7.x as well.
