FrameMaker.next

[Diane Gaskill]

My question is Why??  I suppose this is a little OT, but I cannot imagine needing more than 10 conditions, even when you create PDF for both computer screens and handhelds, and also help, as well as have 3 or 4 models of a product described in the same set of files.  How in heck to you keep track of 80 tags, Carla?
