Is there a way to select or delete specific conditional text?

MASSIVE WARNING: Read this first, and have a backup of your original materials. If changes are made and files saved there is ZERO
recovery or undo for this.



On a book or a single document, after showing the conditions:

1. Edit > Find/Change
2. Select Conditional Text from the drop down
3. Set the dialog as needed
4. Under Change, select "Text"
5. Do NOT put any content into the space below it (that is, leave the text to replace with as blank)
6. Click Find
7. Click Change and review the results
8. If you are happy with this, use Change All

A few quick notes as well. This removes the content, not the condition. If you need to remove the condition, delete the tag (and you
can then also delete the content). However, the method I have is very quick to apply, even across a book.


Hope that helps,

Bernard

Hi,

 

Is there a way to select or delete specific conditional text? I have an FM 10 file with conditional text, which is getting imported
into my translations program. I am looking for a way to delete that text prior to importing for translation.

 

Thanks,

Jaime
