RE: Inconsistent Conditional text [DON'T FORGET COLOUR]

[hedley_finger@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Sharon:

An 'inconsistent indicators' error message may also mean that the same
condition has a different COLOUR in different files, not just that
indicators are visible in some files but invisible in others.  So I would
suggest that, when importing condition formats you also import colours.

The suggestion to import conditions from every generated and non-generated
file in a book to a separate control repository whence they can be imported
back into the entire book is a good one -- just remember to import the
colours, too.

In fact at MYOB Australia we use a condition control file to which writers
must add any new condition definitions and then import them throughout a
book.  The control file is a table with columns as follows:  Comment, Name
of condition, Current status, and Final status.  The Current status column
contains the name of the condition to which the condition format itself has
also been applied.  Thus, you can see at a glance which conditions are
currently visible and which hidden.  The Final status column just contains
either the word Visible or Hidden to indicate to which state each condition
SHOULD be set to customize the final deliverable.

Regards,
Hedley
