Hi Ulrike, You might consider using structured FrameMaker in conjunction with our AXCM plugin. With that, you can conditionalize whole chapters and much more. I do it regularly. I agree with the sentiment that multiple books is cumbersome and error prone.
AXCM is completely free... you can read more at www.weststreetconsulting.com.

To: <framers at lists.frameusers.com> Message-ID: <D6595A169076FA4088F93124C6E9764570CE24 at LY-EX-01.thrane.tt.ad> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi Framers, I have a book file with a number of chapters and appendices. I use the same book file for 3 manuals, which I control with 3 conditional text tags. One of the appendices is only used in 2 of the manuals. Can I make this appendix conditional? My fallback solution is to make a separate book for this manual. I'd prefer though to have a single book. Thanks for your time, Ulrike Forsberg Technical writer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
