MadCap Software Forums

I'm using Capture 6.0.2, and I just tried the rotate feature. This steal appears to not be possible on the image itself.

We are in process of trying to figure out the best profile settings to apply to images from our pre-Flare documents that we are migrating. Most of these images came from Snag-it. What I'm quickly coming to discover, especially from this forum post, is that there aren't any "right answers" ...

Were you able to solve this? I ran into an issue when I tried to select the HTML5 Property Option of MP4 Format, and MadCap directed me hear to install a free encoder: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ I did that, but I have no idea where the ffmpeg file was installed, and so can't configure the opt...

Thank you! That insite is very helpful. I had not thought about users not having audio, but that makes sense since I only have audio with my headphones.

My company is just starting to investigate creating short tutorials using Mimic, which we can make available on our Client Web site to help demonstrate common uses of our software. Because we only have one recording room if we want to record audio, and because having audio increases the production t...

Did you receive any feedback on this topic? My company is looking to start creating short videos for our client Web site, and we also are unsure of the best screen size to use. Any recommendations you have would be appreciated.

Nick, thanks for your feedback. Our company also has Captivate, which is used more widely across our company. The writing department is just starting to investigate using Mimic; we have V7, and it looks like HTML5 is the best output option to choose in terms of mobile compatibility. We are looking t...

I am also doing evaluations of Mimic 7 to see if this is the right tool for our company. We are starting to think about generating quick videos that can be available on our client Web site, potentially uploaded to YouTube, and/or embedded in our help files. It seems like HTML5 is the best output opt...

I received this message in my e-mail, so things appear to be working properly.

Thanks! This was really helpful.

Your post also helped me know to use the term "global number" in my search of MadCap's help, which got me to more information, including the proper auto-number formats to use with global numbers.

Have you figured anything out? I am having similar issues. I even go to the code and manually set the widths of columns to inch values, but when I build my target, the column widths are never what I set.

Has anyone ever run across an issue where, when they create a new TOC based off of the Factory Template, that the new TOC looks like a copy of another TOC in the same project?

Any resolution to this? Did someone contact MadCap or submit a bug?

Anyone know whether this enhancement request has been addressed? I have some teammembers who would like to assign keystrokes to styles also.

Thanks!

Operating System: XP Flare: Version 7.2.0 Issue: I left for the day, having closed down my Flare projects but not my computer. As of the end of the day, everything in Flare was functioning as expected. The only thing that happened overnight was a backup of the server where our Flare projects are sto...

I'm in Flare 7.1, but still found this post extremely helpful. I am working on Appendices, and had been trying to figure out how to get my H1 heading to display "Appendix" instead of "Chapter." Well, this post showed me I had to add a style class. However...I am having trouble wi...

@Laura - Thank you! Working with the TOC classes did the trick.

I am having problems with my PDF table of contents. Headings at level 4 appear in a larger font, and larger line height. I have checked the styles for minTOC Proxy, as well as p.MiniTOC1-9.

I have everything set to be the exact same font and font size. Anyone have other suggestions?

The Webinar today on Conditions was FABULOUS! I cannot emphasize enough how helpful a webinar like this is, where we can see a Flare feature in action. It's one thing to sit through a MadCap training and go through steps in a sample project. It's quite another to see a fellow writer successfully usi...

I worked with MadCap Support, and they discovered that the reason fonts were not working is because you have to apply them through the style sheet. There is a style MadCap|Equation. Note that even with this style configured, I only saw the equation font change in the built output -- when working wit...

I submitted a bug - this is listed with MadCap as Case 28496.

I can't speak for adhollyhock, but my company is on the slow road to getting migrated, if even at all. Our department keeps shrinking; the original manager/purchaser of Flare and our editor (its endorser and administrator) left our company within 6 months of our Flare purchase. Because of the manpow...

Thanks for sharing! This is helpful, and definitely a quicker route sometimes than a bunch of unbinding!

In what other instances have you seen this happen? I'd like to inform my team of what they can expect.
Thanks!

When we are working on longer topics, at the point in which we are typing and a page break occurs, Flare is sometimes jumping the cursor to the top of the topic. If we don't notice when this happens, the text we are typing continues at the beginning of the topic (in the heading). Anyone know why thi...
