Yes .. programmatic changes to these conditions seem to get overridden
on save, so there's really not much you can do. This is a significant
problem with the track changes feature in that it's not properly
supported by the FM APIs, so you can't leverage or extend them the way
you can other FM features. I'm hoping this oversight gets fixed in a
future update.

Hi Keith,
FrameMaker uses conditions with the Track Text Edits feature; however, while
you can access the properties of these conditions, it doesn't look like you
can change them. For example,
Set oDoc = ActiveDoc;
Get Object Type(CondFmt) Name('FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED')
DocObject(oDoc) NewVar(oCondFmt);
Display oCondFmt.Properties;
Set oCondFmt.CondFmtIsShown = 0;
will display the properties of the FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED but will not
hide it. I haven't tried it with ExtendScript, but I am sure it is the same.

Subject: Hiding deletions in with Track Text Edits
I'm starting to use the Track Text Edits feature in FrameMaker 10.
It's nice to have, but there's one thing that I find annoying. In Word, I
have my revision tracking set to use hidden text for deletions. I've deleted
the text from the document - I really don't want to see it anymore.
Framemaker shows me deleted text as strikethrough with colour of my choice
(red). However, I can't hide it.
I know that FrameMaker uses conditions to show or hide the display of text
flagged with the Track Text Edits feature. Is there any way that I can set
things up so that the text marked with the deleted conditional is hidden?
If there is, I can't see it. Or do I need an add-in or a
FrameScript/ExtendScript?
Regards
Keith
