This is what I get for posting when I am tired. :-)
I was working in Books so I was thinking that there should be a quick way to do it in all the chapters and not having to remember to change that in each chapter after page 125 is passing through the printer. Of course, that would be something helpful, and it wouldn't be WYSIWYG then.
I have to go in and set each chapter to the correct conditions so that all flavors are not printed anyway, so I get it is irrelevant.
Of course, I didn't say that and a dozen people have let me know about the Show/Hide checkbox. I deserve that. At least several did it privately so I wouldn't be embarrassed. LOL
Good night, all, I think I'll get some sleep.

Hi Sherman
You realise that in the show/hide conditional text dialog box, that you can turn off "show condition indicators"? If you do that before you print, you don't get the colour.
Cheers

I was never crazy about conditional text in Frame, mainly because I never
had a project that needed it, I think.
But just recently, I have started to use it on a project with FrameMaker 10
and it seems to work much better than I remember in earlier versions. One
thing I'm not crazy about is that the only way I have found to make it stand
out is to have a condition have a color. But then, it prints in that color.
There needed to be a way to highlight conditional text so you knew it was
conditional without it having undesirable appearances in your document.
