To show all the hidden sections so you can edit them, change the value
of the variable to something that the conditions will not recognize. In
our example, you could change the value to 1.
Figure 396: Creating a section to be hidden when a
specified condition is met
To make the hidden section a normal part of the document (that is, to
remove the section markers, but not the contents of the section):
1) Show the hidden section, as described above.
2) On the Edit Sections dialog box, select the section from the list.
3) Click Remove. The contents of the section are now a normal part
of the document.
Change the value of the variable
1) Find the variable field you created in “Create the variable” on
page 455.
2) Click once just in front of this field, then right-click and click
Fields on the pop-up menu.
3) On the Edit Fields: Variables dialog box (Figure 397), change the
value of the variable to Pro.
4) If you have set fields to update automatically, all of the conditional
and hidden text that uses this variable as a condition will change.
Tip
Conditional text and hidden text can only be edited in the Edit
Fields dialog box.
