Question Hi
I am using FM 7.2 (unstructured). Now I had a book with 10 chapters in it. These chapters are again individual blocks of information, so there is a copyright page at the end of each chapter.
Now what I need is if I print the entire book, this last page in every chapter should not be printed. However if I print the individual chapter then this copyright page should be printed.
How can I achieve this? Please can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

This is a very hard problem. There is no simple way
to do it.
There is a clumsy method, but it is the best I can think
of right now. Use conditional text.
In each chapter, set a conditional text tag called "Notice".
The mark the copyright text with that tag. Then set the
conditional text setting in the chapter to hide the 'Notice'
tagged text. Save the file.
When you print the book, the copyright text will not appear.
When you go to print an individual chapter, open it in
its own Window, and change the conditional text settings
to "Show All". Then print. Close the window, but DO
NOT SAVE.
