Conditional text and templates

[Laura Fergusson]

Hi fellow Framers

I've been making heavy use of conditional text in Framemaker 8 (unstructured). Up to now, all manuals for different customers have used the one template.

I have a feeling that a new customer is about to request a customised template. However, the content will still be very similar to the other guides I produce for the other clients.

Is it possible to do this? That is, use one template for this particular client, and keep the default template for the others, within the same files?

If not, can anyone suggest the least messy way to proceed? I would say 70% of the text is common to all product variants.

Thanks in advance
Laura
