Hi Caroline,
I've only played with groups a folders a little, so there's not much I can tell
you. I can say that using a folder will change how your headings are numbered,
but using a group won't.

Hi Caroline,
I've only played with groups a folders a little, so there's not much I can

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
advantage.
It is always useful to hear about other tools.

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

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
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

Flare is old-fashioned locally installed single-user Windows software, like
FrameMaker.

My apologies if this response is late; I've been on vacation.
Assuming I understand the situation you are describing, I think your best
choice is number 2. There are a number of good guides that describe how to
use FrameMaker's numbering blocks to set up some pretty complicated
numbering schemes
My first thought would be to migrate to Flare or Paligo, which are
much better at that sort of reuse.
