Hi,
We've just started to use the Boolean expression feature in FrameMaker 8.

With previous versions of Frame, we used to save our Show/Hide settings in various control files or template(for example, an Australia Print file, a UK Online file and so on). Then, during the publishing stage, we'd import conditional text settings from the appropriate control file into the book.

I know this method is still mentioned in the FrameMaker help.

However, from our experiments with Frame 8, it looks like we *cannot* use this method with the Boolean expression feature. If you import conditional text settings from a file, it doesn't seem to bring in the "Show as per Expression" settings.

Is this correct behaviour or are we getting something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Suchi
