Hello fellow FM users, I'm delving into the world of conditional text for the first time since I started using FrameMaker, and I've encountered a couple of unforseen problems. I'm wondering if someone knows how to work around these?
1. First, I've marked the two versions of my manual with two different colors. This is quite handy when I'm working with my file before I've printed it. However, when I went to make the .PDF, I was surprised to find that it preserved these colors in the PDF! I didn't want it to do that - I want my conditional text to look like regular text. First Question: Is there any way I can specify that the colors are viewed on the screen only, and not in the final outputted document? 2. Second, I've specified a number of bulleted items as conditional text. FM had no problem making the text conditional, but it completely ignored the bullets themselves, and thus I have bullets hanging out on the page with no text after them. This looks pretty weird. Second question: Is there a way to specify to FM that the bullets have to be included with the conditional text? Thanks, Brad Simmons Technical Writer Ag-Leader Technology
