Conditional Text and cross-references

[Anita Burstein]

Hi list!
I'm using FrameMaker 6.0.
 
I have a book with many conditions in it. Within the conditional text, there are cross-references. Some of the cross-references are to text marked with the same conditions and therefore shown at the same time. Some of the cross-references are to text that is unconditional, so that the cross-reference text to a heading, etc. might be hidden. 
 
The cross-references are formatted to show the heading text and page number.
 
Here's my problem: When I show all conditions and update the cross-references, the page numbers are automatically updated, but they lose their condition tag. When I then hide the conditions, the page number still shows, because it became unconditional. (If I manually update the cross-reference, it will pick up the condition again.)
 
Example:
"For more information, refer to Starting your System on page 23." ("Starting your System on page 23" is the cross-reference)
This entire sentence can be hidden with conditional text. However, when I updated cross-references with all conditions showing, "on page 23" remains unconditional and therefore shows when I hide the conditions.
 
This seems to happen consistently to the same cross-references, although I cannot seem to find a pattern across my book.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
