Re: Single Sourcing With Adobe Framemaker 7.1

I think that
" conditional text, different books, variables, and text insets." are
the elements that allow single sourcing.
Maybe you can further explain exactly what you are looking for, and
what your requirements are.
What you want to input and the output you need to produce (help files
in what format, PDF, html or what?)
