RE: Deleting (REALLY deleting) conditional text

["Ede, Craig" <craig.ede@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure what you are finding and changing. If you want to delete text with a condition you can just delete all of it in a given file by choosing Special > Conditional Text. Choose the tag you want to delete, then click "Edit Condition Tag" and click on Delete in the box that pops up. Then choose "Delete the text" from the next pop-up. All text that is ONLY tagged with that condition will disappear from the file.

Note that if you have multiple conditions on some text, that text will be retained without the condition you've deleted, but still remains tagged with the remaining conditions (as you would expect).

Subject: Deleting (REALLY deleting) conditional text


Hi,

I want to remove elements tagged with a particular conditional text tag from
my FrameMaker documents (Frame 6.0, Windows XP). Simply using Edit/Find and
Change All doesn't work for all elements in my documents. For example, it
doesn't always remove index markers, anchored frames, or tables that are
tagged with that conditional text tag.

The tagged text/table rows/tables/anchored frames/index entries have to be
completely removed. Hiding the conditional text is not sufficient for the
process I'm using. The process includes converting the files to MIF, so
someting that works on the MIF files could also be the answer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John B.
