Hi, If an anchor or a mark, which is adjacent to text with a track changes condition, is hidden, I assume the following: o You wanted to delete the text. o In order to delete the text, you either double-clicked the word or you selected it with CTRL+SHIFT+Right arrow. With both methods the anchor or mark gets selected as well. o Then you deleted the text with the anchor/mark. o The text and the anchor/mark get the condition "FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED". You see this in the status bar. o When you hide the condition (via "Preview Final"), this text and the anchor/mark are hidden.
What I'd do: o Either make sure that you do not delete anchors or marks. o Or, if the anchor/mark has the condition "FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED", select it, and then click on "Accept Edit". That removes this condition. In any case, deleting text does not apply the condition "FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED" to adjacent anchors or marks, if they weren't selected. The Track Changes conditions cannot be applied or shown/hidden via the conditional text dialogs.
