Our documentation department has created a User Guide in FrameMaker 7.0 for Windows. Using this document, we want to produce:
(1) A PDF copy of the User Guide, which will contain all screen shots that we have captured.
(2) An online help version of the User Guide (using WebWorks E-Publisher Pro Version 9.2), which will include only a few figures.

We insert figures using the "Import File - By Reference" command. Each figure is placed in an anchored frame using the "At the Insertion Point" option. This enables us to use a specific paragraph tag for figures only. Below each figure, we insert an auto-numbered caption using a paragraph tag that is reserved for captions only.

Here is the problem: We applied conditional text settings to the figure and figure caption styles to see if we could tag some of them as "For PDF Only." The idea was to make these tagged elements invisible just before compiling the online help. We found that the numbered portions of the figure captions will not become invisible. The figure caption text does disappear, however.

Is there a workaround for this problem? We need auto numbering and conditional text. It seems that we must choose one or the other.

Thanks.
