Very wise! I've had to clean up many documents that were poorly conditioned to the word level. It can certainly be done well, but it's not for the conditional text novice by any means. Kiddies, don't try this at home. ;) I do think that limiting to the paragraph level is a bit restrictive though. I think that with just a drop of discipline you can get away with going down to the full sentence level, but I wouldn't go more granular than that. You need to set a conditional use guideline and adhere to it. I suggest conditioning at the sentence level from the first character in the sentence straight through to the period or to the space after the period if the sentence has others following it. This way you will never have odd run-in formatting from sentence to sentence. A lot of people over-think their use of conditions. Keep it simple (which your needs are) and stick to rules about applying them -- Bill Swallow Twitter: @techcommdood Blog: http://techcommdood.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/techcommdood Available for contract and full time opportunities.
