provide you with hard copy or PDFs for each case of Conditional text so
you can check for correct output.
Showing and Hiding Conditional Text
Conditional text can be visible for one version of output (le) and hidden for another version
(right). Note that when inline conditional text is hidden, remaining text may reow.
Any text a paragraph, a word, even a single letter can be tagged
with one or more conditions. You must be careful to set the visibility of
the conditional text itself correctly; if the conditional text is visible, it will
print. To control the visibility of conditional text, use the “eye” icon in the
Conditional Text panel (Window > Type & Tables > Conditional Text).
Assigning Conditional Text
Selected text can be assigned to one or more conditions. A check by the condition name
means that currently selected text is tagged with that condition. e eye icon controls the
visibility of the conditional text. If conditional text is visible, it will print. e Indicators pull-
down menu controls the visibility and printing state of conditional text indicators, not the
conditional text itself.
To easily identify text belonging to each condition, color indicators such
as highlights and several types of underscores can be selected. You can
choose whether to show or hide conditional text indicators, and you
have options to show but not print the indicators, or to show and print
the indicators. In most circumstances, you would wish to avoid printing
conditional text indicators, except possibly for proofreading and
identification purposes on proof output. To control the visibility and
printability of conditional text indicators, use the options in the
Indicators pop-up menu in the Conditional Text panel.
Conditional Text Indicators
Indicators such as colored wavy underlines or highlights identify conditional text. You can
choose whether these indicators are visible or hidden, and whether they print.
Don’t confuse the visibility and print options for the conditional text
indicators with the visibility (and thus the printability) of the conditional
text itself.
Paragraph-based Numbering
Numbering and bulleted features are paragraph attributes, and can be
controlled by paragraph styles. If you need to change the formatting for
a numbered list (for example, to change all numbers to another color),
you will find that you cannot select the numbers themselves as you
would select other text. Because the numbers are generated by the
paragraph style, you must change them by using the Paragraph Styles
Option dialog box. To control the formatting and color of numbers and
bullets in such situations, you will need to invoke a character style that
applies the desired formatting. For details on formatting numbered text,
see InDesign Help.
