Conditional Text
Answers
1
A conditional document lets you work in a single source but different versions of the
same document. This reduces redundancy and improves efficiency.
2
Condition indicators make it easy to see what text is in which condition. This reduces
the chances of errors when editing.
3
If the spaces surrounding conditional text are not also conditional, there may be too
many or too few spaces in the versions. Making a paragraph symbol conditional means
that the paragraph return will be hidden when that condition is hidden—resulting in the
paragraph running into the next.
4
If text is conditional, then the status line displays the condition tag for the selected text
or the insertion point.
5
You can apply a condition to text by pressing 4, typing the letters of the
condition tag until it appears in the status line, and then pressing Return. You can also use
the Special > Conditional Text command, moving the condition tag to the In scroll list,
and then clicking Apply.
6
You can make text unconditional by pressing 6.
7
You make a graphic conditional by placing it in an anchored frame, selecting the frame,
and then applying a condition to the frame just as you would with text.
8
When you hide a condition that has been applied to the contents of a table cell, the
contents disappear but the cell remains. When you hide a condition that has been applied
to the entire row of a table, the whole row disappears.
