RE: Changing Track Revisions display
I would like to have deleted text hidden. I thought that Frame might use conditional text to control the display of tracked text. If all you want to do is hide the deleted text (versus changing the formatting, which is what people responded to), you can do that from the Track Changes menu or toolbar. There are options to show the original, show the changed version, or show all changes.

RE: Changing Track Revisions display
Keith, Maybe this isn't what you want to do, but you can show a preview of original version or the edited version. I use the Track Edits toolbar, but I believe the commands are on the menus somewhere, too. You can only do it file by file, but I find it still helps in proofing to see the edited version clean. Hope this helps. ~ Linda G.

Re: Changing Track Revisions display
Hi Keith and Scott, You can indeed use FrameScript or the FDK to change the appearance of these conditions. They can be programmatically changed just like any other condition. However, the changes do not survive when you close and reopen the document. The solution I have used is a FrameScript event script that automatically changes them when the document is opened. I am sure you could do this with the FDK as well. Keith, if you are interested in a FrameScript solution, please contact me offlist. Thanks. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi Keith... As far as I've been able to tell .. these are conditions, but they are *special* conditions. They don't show up in the standard condition UI, and you can't easily change their appearance or hide/show state. If you export this to a MIF, you'll see that they look like normal conditions, but if you try changing the hide/show or coloring in the MIF, they will revert back to the standard appearance when you open it in FM. Their properties must be hard-coded in some manner. I'd imagine that an FDK plugin or FrameScript could change this (haven't tried yet) but I'm not aware of any normal ways to change their appearance. ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Keith Soltys wrote: Frame 8 includes a Track Text Edits feature that is similar to Microsoft Word's Track Changes.
