If you're using a unique style for these paragraphs, you can modify the
style macro so it only picks up the text. Typically, these styles use $DATA.
You should be able to eliminate the number by adding an argument to the
$DATA; macro. Try $DATA(raw); instead. If this doesn't work, try $PGFTEXT;.

Remember, to set properties for an entire project, you need to select the
top object in the tree. If you set properties on a specific file, it will
onlt affect that file. I've had no trouble using WWP to exclude
conditionalized content from a project, and I use this feature extensively.
When I've set the conditional text options on a project, I haven't noticed
any problems with the output.
Let me know if you need more detail.
