Frame 9 Unstructured: Conditional Text Won't Apply

[LaBarre, Susan]

Hi All,
I'm returning to Frame after a long hiatus. My last project was done in v7.1, so you can see how long it's been.
Except for the workspaces, I'm finding most of the Macromedia functionality still intact in v.9, but I'm having trouble applying a condition to a portion of my text.
I used to be able to select the entire text including paragraph tag(s), make sure the condition is in the "show" column, then click the "apply" button. Now, when I repeat this sequence, nothing happens. My condition has a red, underline format applied to it, so my text inherit that condition's format were it successfully applied. I've tried hiding the condition as well. The selected passage just sits there as though nothing was ever applied.
Am I doing something wrong or has conditional formatting changed in v9. (I'm using the evaluation version of Technical Suite while my PO goes through the various approval stages. I'm really tempted to actually purchase v8 if I can't get past the issues and bugs in v9.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Susan
