Okay, here's the fix that we got from MC Support and it works!

The preview is controlled by your Target.

So I went in and delete my target and then added a NEW target back (HTML Help), set everything and it worked. Now the preview window appears like it should!

Recently, weird problem happened - my preview window in a HTML project in Flare (HTML is my primary target), well...the Preview window stopped working properly. AND ITS ONLY IN THAT PROJECT! I have projects and when I do a topic preview in Flare, the topics look perfect :oops:! So, strange. But this ...

We just had the same issue in June! Yes, you need to re-register that DLL! THen recompile the Help!

Here's what I did:
1. I created a glossary in MadCap Flare.
2. Opened the file from the MC directory on my drive in Excel.
3. Excel asked me if I wanted to open as a Table.

RamonS thanks for the great reply. Here's some clarification:

We already OWN SharePoint and many of our clients who will USE/consume our online help have it. So, we are IN SharePoint, there's no going back, BUT I'm looking for WHAT SHAREPOINT and MadCap do together.

1. Yes, I can store files in ...

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP - I started at a new company, so we purchased MadCap. Great! But all I keep hearing about is 'HOW' MadCap and SharePoint works together? So, I'm confused. Please help me?
