Setting up your document
The document you’ll be working with contains only the information on the CEO office
chair. You will add the conditional information on the Professional model.
1
Open Condit.fm in the Lesson13 folder.
2
Choose File > Save As, enter the filename
Condit1.fm
, and click Save.
When working with conditional text, it is often helpful to have borders and text symbols
showing.
3
Choose View > Borders and then choose View > Text Symbols.

Before you begin working with conditional text, take a few moments to explore the
document. Notice the following:
•
The gray circle at the top (indicating the location of a hole to be drilled in the card) is
drawn on the master page, so you can’t select it or modify it here.
•
The ModuLine corporate logo is also not selectable because it is included as part of the
format of the paragraph just below it (
ModuLine CEO
). The logo is selectable only on a
special
reference page,
from which FrameMaker 7.0 copies it to this body page. Placing
often-used graphics on a reference page and making them part of a format reduces file
size because the graphic only needs to be copied into the document once.
•
The card is laid out in two columns; the descriptive paragraph in the middle of the page
spans both body columns.
•
The illustration of the chair is in an anchored frame that’s anchored to the preceding
paragraph,
Ergonomically designed
