▪ Type directly in the Completed condition box. Names of conditions and Boolean operators are both
case-insensitive. Note that if you want to use a NOT operator, you must enclose the condition on
which you want it to operate in parenthesis. Thus you enter NOT (&black) rather than NOT
&black.
▪ Drag and drop conditions from the Conditions available for concatenation box. Click on the name
of the condition you want to add, drag it to the Completed condition box, release it at the position
at which you want to insert it in the expression, and choose either And or Or from the menu
PlanetPress Design displays. Legal positions for insertions are displayed in blue as you drag.
Releasing over a condition name inserts the condition after that condition. Releasing over an
opening parenthesis inserts the condition before that opening parenthesis. Releasing over a
closing parenthesis inserts the condition after that closing parenthesis.
▪ Apply the NOT operator to a condition by right-clicking the condition and choosing Insert “Not”
Operator. PlanetPress Design encloses the expression on which you clicked in parentheses, and
precedes it by the NOT operator.
▪ Remove the NOT operator from a condition by right-clicking the condition and choosing Remove
“Not” Operator.
▪ Delete a condition by right-clicking the condition and choosing Delete Item from Condition.
Note that you cannot delete the condition you are currently defining.
▪ Delete any or all conditions by highlighting the section you want to delete and pressing
BACKSPACE, or by backspacing through the section.
4. Click OK.
If the Boolean expression contains a syntax error and you attempt to close the Condition properties
dialog box, PlanetPress Design returns the focus to the Concatenation area of the Condition properties
dialog box. You must fix the error to close the dialog box.
To combine global conditions using the Object Inspector:
1. In the Structure area, select the condition to which you want to add one or more existing conditions.
2. In the Object Inspector, locate the Combined condition property.
3. In the Combined condition property, enter a valid Boolean expression that references one or more of the
conditions that appear above the currently selected condition in the Structure area, and describes how
you want to combine those conditions. This expression must reference the condition whose Combined
condition property you are editing.
18.2.13 Override a Global Condition
To override a global condition:
1. In the Structure area, double-click the global condition to display the Condition properties dialog box for
the condition whose value you want to override.
2. In the Condition properties dialog box, click Condition and select the override for the condition in the
Override mode box.
Data: Select to have the value of the condition depend on the contents of the sample data file. This in
effect removes any override, and results in the condition behaving as it will at runtime.
True: Select to have the value of the condition always equal to True. Note that this override is valid
only during document design and has no effect at runtime.
False: Select to have the value of the condition always equal to False.
