Conditional table rows

[Lynn Durell]

Hi,

Thanks, I'll see if we can alter the table rows.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, conditional table rows are skipped by the Find function, 
and 
are also not included in generated reports on conditions (IOR/LOR) 
[applies 
to all FM versions].
The workaround is to apply the condition to the text in the table row, in 
addition to marking the row as conditional.

This workaround helps with another problem: hypertext markers and 
cross-references in hidden conditional table rows are carried over to PDF 
as active links [applies to FM8 and earlier versions; this problem was 
fixed in FM9]
