[Framers] Conditional and Shared Text - Determining Percentages

[Craig, Alison]

Thanks guys.

I was kind of hoping someone knew of a utility :-(((

But with the "hide" suggestion, I can certainly figure how much shared content there is.

Scott,

I don't think that will work as stated. She's trying to figure out how much
is the same across files, and this doesn't really tell her if the
information is the same, just that one has more characters than another.

On the other hand, if she adds a step to HIDE all of the text that is
conditioned, she'll get a file size/character count of only the common
text, and then she can compare that to the numbers from the files that have
one or more conditions showing depending on how she sets the display.
