Hi Rebecca, I don't like to offer scripting as a "solution" for this kind of problem, but it can make the workaround much less painful. In other words, you could possibly use a script to show/hide the conditions so that your workaround would be implemented much faster. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

We have unstructured FM 12 files that use Expressions to choose what conditional text to display. We also use text insets, especially as TOCs in chapters. When we update the text insets, conditional text displays that should be hidden according to the Expression. This means our documents suddenly display extra text! Our text insets are set to update automatically when files open, so opening a file is often enough to trigger this bug. Fortunately, we found a workaround: The display becomes correct if we turn the Expression off and then on again. For example, if we set the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog to Show All and click Apply, then set it to show as per the desired Expression and click Apply, it'll display correctly. Until the next time we do something radical like opening the file. The workaround is a lot better than nothing, but it means we have to keep changing the Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog, across books of thousands of pages. It's slowing us down enough to drive us batty. Cheers Rebecca NOTICE: This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
