Lin
thanks for getting back to me.
Are there people with experience with groups?
I will look up those numbering articles and think about either this
suggestion, or the suggestion of using conditional text.
I have to present the ideas to the SMEs next week

Currently the only thing they want to produce here is PDF, so that is an

Where but on a FrameMaker list would you find an expert opinion about
when it's the wrong tool for a particular job?
Doing complicated topic reuse using FrameMaker's conditional text is
possible, but it's a painful and time-consuming kludge compared with
tools that make it easy to assemble multipl
Why am I reading on a FrameMaker list that other products do things better ???
Even if in your opinion they do, we don't need to hear it.

So long as you set up a system and stick to it, managing down to the
sentence level is possible. I've done it down to pluralizing words with far
more complicated needs than simply marking something for a particular
customer.
In any case, she's not asking for advice on alternate tools, she's asking
Managing lots of conditions can get pretty gnarly at the paragraph level.
Flare makes that kind of thing much easier.

As a thought, you could use put all the "boxes" into a chapter (family) and
control its appearance with conditions by marking the text for that "box"
with a condition named for the customer. Then all you have to do when you
create a book for a customer is set the Show Conditions to that customer's
