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

[Laura Fergusson]

Hi Laura, I've had the same issue. I've experimented quite a bit with this.

What I eventually found worked best, was to create a PDF of the manual with the required conditions showing. In Acrobat, I then use Export> Word document or Export> RTF.

It's still messy I have to admit - you may need to do a quick edit of the resulting Word files to tidy them up, but it's what I now do.

Depends really if the customer wants just the text or if they want a "nice" version.

Hope this helps
Laura

I have a group of manuals where I use conditional text to keep track of the different variations.

My customer asked to have a word copy of one of the manuals. 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.

There must be a better way. I've been using v7.1, but on the trial version of 10 I noticed the same thing happening. Does any one have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
