Note: I am running Framemaker 8.0p277 on Windows Vista.

I have a number of heavily conditionalized documents that I want to make unconditionalized.

I thought -- simple! This won't be hard at all. But unfortunately, I encountered an issue. My procedure:

1. Copy the text into a new document (same condition, para, and character tags).

2. Select all text.

3. Change the tags I no longer want from "As is" to "Not In." When it asks, I delete all text so that the only conditional text left is the text I want to keep.

4. Select all text and make it unconditional.

Voila! I thought! Except...

All text that was previously unconditional, or conditionalized with both the tag I want and another tag, is now red with a line through it, and is marked "FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED" (i.e. that shows up in the status bar at the bottom). And Track Text Edits is NOT enabled.

I can, at this point, get rid of this marking and make everything okay by going into the Text Tracking and choosing to Reject All. But it seems buggy to me. Why would working with conditional text trigger a text edit track? Am I missing something? Or is this just a bug I've discovered? (I did try to search on anything similar and found nothing.)

Thanks to anyone with an opinion! :)
