LESSON 13
Conditional Text
Tagging text as you type
If you need to work extensively with conditional text, you may find it easier to use
keyboard shortcuts to apply and remove condition tags. Next, you'll use keyboard
shortcuts to add conditional text to the body paragraph.
1 Click to place the insertion point at the end of the body paragraph that spans both
columns.
First you'll type a sentence using the CEO condition tag.
2 Press Control+4. The status bar changes to prompt you for a condition tag.
3 Type the letter C. Because the CEO condition tag is the only one that begins with the
letter C, the prompt changes to indicate that tag.
Note: In Windows and on UNIX systems, you don't need to type the letter C, because the first
condition tag in alphabetical order appears in the Tag area of the status bar when you press
Control+4.
4 Press Return. The condition tag is applied to the text at the insertion point.
5 Press the spacebar and type Comes standard with armrests. Then type a period to end
the sentence.
Notice that the status bar shows the CEO condition tag in parentheses. If you type more
text at the insertion point, the text will continue to use the CEO condition. Next you'll
type a sentence that uses the Professional condition, so you'll need to remove the CEO
condition. You'll use a keyboard shortcut that removes all conditions.
6 Press Control+6. The status bar now shows no condition tags, which means text you
type at this point would be unconditional.
