Thanks Anita and Matt! I totally forgot that copying conditions will only add the ones that are in the source file, not delete extras that are in the target!
I cleaned all the conditions out of my TOC file and imported them again from the cover page file and life is good again. I'll go tidy up my templates now, too.

So, let's say you have a condition "Condition1" that is present in the TOC, and is set to "Hide." "Condition1" is not present in the cover page, so importing conditional text settings won't affect this condition in the TOC. If later files have "Condition1" set to "Show," you get the book errors. To avoid this type of error, I try to keep the number of conditions in my templates to a minimum. When I'm working on a new book that requires a condition, I set the condition up in the first file, and then import conditional text settings from that file into every other file in the book. Good luck! Anita From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fei Min Lorente Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Inconsistent Conditional Text Settings that won't go away When I update some of my manuals, I get "Show/Hide setting for _____ is inconsistent." on my TOC file. I import the conditional text settings from the cover page file to the TOC, update the book again, and I still get the errors. But if I import the conditional text settings from the TOC to the rest of the manual, the errors go away. Does anyone have any explanations for this behavior? Fortunately, I'm not using the native conditional text settings right now, but if I cared about them, this would be a problem. I'm currently using FrameMaker 10 on Windows XP SP3, but I started seeing this problem in the last few months on FrameMaker 7.2, just before we switched over.
