FM8 seems to display auto-numbers as plain text and does not consider the condition indicators. Is this a bug or a feature. Or do I even have a mis-configuration.

I just edited FM7 documents with FM8. FM7 used to display auto numbers with condition indicators.

It looks as if FM8 does not show the condition colours for auto-numbers, like it used to in previous versions. However, as the numbers belong to the paragraph they still get shown or hidden depending on the shown/hidden status of the end-of-paragraph mark. Just a display quirk I guess.

Hello,

I have a few questions about conditional text.

I inhereited some books that have a *ton* of unused conditional text. So far, I have found no way to remove unused conditional text across book documents- the conditionals must be removed one at a time which is a terribly time intensive procedure. Help says these should update during File>Import> Formats but that seems to only ADD conditionals, not remove them. Is there a better way to do this?

Second, when I update my books, I get a "Show/Hide (conditional) settings are inconsistent" message for a conditional that isn't even being used in any of the chapters. Any ideas as to why this might occur and what I can do to resolve it?

Thanks for any advice!

Robin,

Electropubs <'http://www.electropubs.com'> has a plugin called Clean Import which imports formats from another document and removes unused formats at the same time. One of the formats it can handle is conditional text, so it might be just the thing for you.
