Conditional Build Tag Color

[KittyLiz]

I want to change the color of the conditional build tag that I use for blocks of text within a topic. RH is forcing me to make the same change in each topic using the CBT. Is there any way to change the CBT color for all topics at once? I'm using RH Office X4.

Not sure how you are changing the colour. In X5 I went to Conditional Build Tags in Project Manager and changed the colour there. That seems to flow through to the topics.

I don't know if X4 behaves in a different way.

Do you know if the color is visible in the true code? It might be faster to find it and fix it that way. It is truly not that important. Just one of those things that is bugging me. Kitty

No the true code just names the tag. The colour is defined in the Build Tags table within the CPD file which is really a Microsoft Access database. Best not go there unless you are familiar with using Access and have a few backups.

I don't know why, but my colors seem okay now. What I was seeing before (with the wrong colors) only in some topics does not make sense. I'm just going to assume it was gremlins from when I damaged my project a couple of weeks ago.. Your idea about using Access might turn out to be very useful in the future. I'm not sure why I'll need it, but I love those tidbits of knowledge. Don't know why I didn't make the connection that you could open the .mpj file with Access. I copied the .mpj into a different folder before looking around with Access. Thanks,
