Conditional build question

[Flato, Gillian]

Sharon,

I never used Frame 9, but in Frame 10, if you select all of the files in the book, and then build  the conditional text settings, they set for the book level. If you build the expression on a chapter level, it's only for the chapter.

Thank you,

And yes, I did try the help but there was nothing there that I couldn't deduce from the dialog box.

I'm in Frame 9, fully patched.

I have a set of client files for 4 books. Some of the chapters are used in 3 or 4 of the books. There is extensive use of conditions in all books to get the right output.

I want to use build expressions in each book to select the several include and exclude conditions each book needs. So here's the question: If I set a combination of conditions for all the files in Book1, is this build expression applied at the book level or at the chapter level?

If I apply a slightly different set of conditions to all the files in Book2, which has some of the files from Book1, what happens to the common files? What build expression set of conditions is applied when I generate each book?
