Subject: Bug: Hidden conditional anchored frame kills FrameMaker

All: A colleague using FrameMaker 6 on Windows NT 4 is using conditional tags to customize deliverables for different markets. She applied a condition tag which was hidden (i.e. Show button set in the Show/HIde Conditional Text dialogue) to an anchorde frame containing an imported graphic. Because the condition was hidden, the graphic instantly disappeared ... and so did FrameMaker. Unfortunately, FrameMaker did NOT create a recovery file nor a crash log. A possible workaround we are testing is to place each anchored frame in its own paragraph (Anchoring Position: At Insertion Point) and apply the condition to the ENTIRE paragraph, including the anchored frame. Coincidentally, we were also having other problems related to anchored frames with hidden conditions on Windows 2000. We have been unable to convert FM files to HTML (MS HTML Help format) using mif2go over the past several weeks. Jeremy Griffith traced this to the fact that some anchored frames were hidden in the affected file. When all conditional content was made visible we were able to convert the files successfully. As soon as we applied the condition visibility settings (Show button), hiding graphics in some anchored frames, FrameMaker crashed.
