Hello Forum Experts,

I am having some trouble removing conditions.

I was able to delete the conditions from each FM file, such that they no longer appear when I open the Special-->Manage Condition dialog and the Special-->Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog.

But the pesky conditions still appear when I open the View-->Show/Hide Conditional Text dialog from the book file. Meanwhile, no menu options to delete conditions are available from the book file.

So, it is a conundrum. If anyone could advise, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your ideas.

Z.

Z,

I have noticed that the book file contains some information that is not always consistent with the documents in the book, and conditions is one of them. When the book was created, it recorded the conditions in the documents in the book. Then after you delete the conditions in all the files in the book and update the book, some of these conditions remain in the book. I do not know how Frame decides or not which ones to keep. I have not found a way to delete the conditions from the book file. If you save the book file in the MIF format and remove the conditions from the MIF file, Frame will not let you save the MIF file as a book file, which seems odd since this two-way street exists for regular document files.

SO, I do not worry about the problem, as long as the document files contain only the required conditions. I just try to ignore the others in the book file and keep them always hidden.

Hope this helps,
Van
