Re: Consistent & Variable Information
You just lucked into a great application for Frame's ability to selectively display/print specific text. In the greater scheme of things, it's called "single sourcing," and the problem you're trying to solve illustrates why it's so valuable these days. Frame calls it "conditional text"
<snip> The material for the other versions remains with the file, so you haven't lost anything.
Good luck!
Elna is correct, but allow me to provide a warning. When you "hide" conditional text, it becomes a little text marker, like a T that doesn't match your font. These are easy to delete if you don't realize what they are and watch for them.
FrameMaker will warn you. But if you're in a hurry, Danger Will Robinson!
