Folks, forgive me if I am a day late and a dollar short, but I haven't used Conditional Text for about ten years. It says in the Help that you can't use it for text in a regular paragraph (at least I think that's what the help means), but all their examples in the introduction of the help use it for exactly that. Furthermore, that's the logical use for the capability and it's how it used to work back in release 3 (or 2, or whenever that was years ago)!!! Is this really true? If so, it seems totally unsuitable for what I need to use it for--for example, numbered steps that appear or disappear depending upon options available with our software, paragraphs, and just parts of sentences. This is a blow to find out the capabilities have changed just after I told management we could modify our documents for three different conditions this way. Using anchored frames just seems to be a pain, and it won't work for the numbered steps, I don't think. Did C.T. really go backwards like this? Is there any workaround?
