Hi Kristy, When you toggle between "hiding" and "showing" conditionalized text, FrameMaker may re-assign some paragraph formatting to a previously hidden paragraph. If you have FrameScript, you'll be able to see that FrameMaker has assigned the unique paragraph id from one paragraph to another.
To avoid the formatting problems, you can try re-positioning the conditionalized paragraphs before hiding them. It will probably be easier to create an element attribute that controls the pagination (and you'll be able to search for the new attribute using the find element capability of the search tool.

Here is this week's question. At least, I hope it is the only one this week. Working in structured docs, but I don't think that is the issue (but wouldn't guarantee it). We have conditional text for a student guide and an instructor guide. The part that is conditional is an instructor note that "lives" in the sidehead. First, I notice that the doc isn't following it's own rules about widows/orphans. Set for three lines, but it is only keeping two words with the graphic on the next page. I need that whole paragraph to go with the graphic. Second, if I flip back and forth between the conditions, it seems to erase the rules I have applied and do its own thing. I have tried Special/Page break/Top of Page. I have tried the pagination tab in the Paragraph Designer with all combinations of Keep With. I can get it to look right in student and to instructor, but lose everything if I go back to student. Any ideas what I am missing? Thanks!
