Troubleshooting Merge Conditional

Question

I'm having trouble with Merge Conditional. I set a number register where some publications in a style library are "1" and some are "2", and then write the merge conditional for one of them. It's not working, I can't get the publications to do different things.
What can I do to troubleshoot a merge conditional? I checked to be sure the number I chose for the register was not already in use. What else should I look at?

That's why the macros aren't working. You're referencing the number registers with '#'. You need to 'load' the main text number registers into x-registers first then test those x-registers. i.e. (which loads #35, last occurrence on page, into x35) . Hope that helps.
