Is it possible to export a FM file without including all of the conditional text?

Hi Laura,

Make a copy of the files.

Then, in the copy delete the conditions that you do NOT want shown in the output. When you delete a condition, you are given the option to make the text unconditional or to delete it. You'll want to delete it. After you do that, save the file out to RTF.

Regards,

Is there a way to choose conditional text for the manual that I want which excludes all of the other conditional text in the final output? When exporting to an .rtf file, all of the information gets exported, even if I'm only showing the conditional text that I'm interested in. As a work around of last resort, I had to do a Show All and manually strip out everything I didn't want in the final version.
