FM, How to Delete Unused Conditional Text Names from a Book

[Ed Lightle]

Shmuel,

Thanks so much!  Saved book as a MIF as you recommended, deleted the condition markers and then saved back as a book.  Took about 4 minutes!

Thanks so much!

As far as I know, the only way to do it is to save the book file as a MIF, open the MIF in a text editor, delete the condition, and then resave it as a BOOK file. It's not as hard as it sounds. Here is an example of the lines you would need to delete for the "Comment" condition:

<Condition
<CTag `Comment'>
<CState CShown>
<CStyle CDoubleUnderline>
<CSeparation 2>
<CColor `Red'>
 > # end of Condition
