OMG this is so annoying. It is gratifying to know that others feel the same way. It is horrifying to realize this was posted SIX years ago.

What on earth is the logic of including that extra space?

I found a workaround of sorts. Go to File > Options. In the Build tab, turn on View output after successful build. This way that useless message does not appear after the original build. However, if you close the output and click View, you still get the message (again, even if nothing is "out-o...

This has been bugging me for years. Thought I would come back here to see if I could find a solution. Once again, out of luck. The two questioners above describe the problem well, as well as Flare's illogical behavior. I have always assumed this was a bug, as I can find no settings that seem related...

A big Thank You to the above posters. In case this helps others, my problem was that our Icomoon font would not embed in PDFs. Yet I could add the icons to MS Word and when Word generated the PDF, the icomoon font listed as Embedded, and the fonts appeared. Then I noticed the Warning 40040 Failed to...

Hey does anyone have any news regarding this bug? It has been a while.

I hope they didn't fix it and forget to notify me.

Thanks

Yes I filed the bug and Support added my case to the number mentioned above in the thread.

They also advised to build with 2017 r3. I did so and the call-outs went back to normal in the output. So all is OK for now.

rpa: thanks for opening the bug with Support. simona: I only installed the new Flare and Mimic. I already had Capture 7.0 installed and I presumed all MadCap did was add the Capture link into the Flare toolbar. lanval: A CSS change was my first thought. I've never looked into Capture CSS files. Now ...

Wow. I just noticed this happening in some of my callouts. Text goes HUGE or disappears altogether. Need to do a little survey. I upgraded on May 2.

It works.

Pointed a browser running on a Windows 10 system with the German lang. pack installed at my test site and sure enough, my TopNav help loaded the German version straight off.

Thank you so much Uwe!

Uwe, I think you are on to something.

In my Region and Language dialog, Keyboards and Languages tab, there is no Display language section. The MS help states that this means no LIP has been installed.

I am off to see IT.

Many thanks!

Uwe, I have read through this. And reading through it again, all I see are statements referring to enabling the ChooseLanguage button for HTML5 targets, so that "users can select the language of their choice." Nothing about automatic selection, such as you have mentioned and I want to impl...

Uwe, thanks for replying to my post. I did try this, changing settings for region in Windows 7, and for language in IE. It does not give the result you describe. Perhaps because of the software versions? Or is it because my help is using TopNav? I read something last week in the Madcap help that sai...

I am testing Lingo. My machine is 64 bit and has 8 GB of RAM. Lingo is freezing, or at least incredibly slow. Leave it alone long enough and it eventually loads the project. Can anyone provide realistic guidelines for the system requirements (NOT the official ones). For those that run Lingo successf...

Hello; I have just started playing around with moving help projects into Lingo, exporting them, and linking back to the English help (our main help). The little Globe button appears, and sure enough, my mock translated help appears in the menu of languages. Very nice. Now, my employer is thinking of...

Hi Paulie.

Well done.

I note you posted this on a Sunday. You are one dedicated Flare user.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hello Paulie;

No I did not.

They will say "We are creating a support ticket on your behalf." That's what they do.

I have abandoned this BS "feature" and will no longer attempt to use it.

Thanks for replying.

P.

If you have used this option are you happy with it? I finally got around to giving it a try but the results in both help and PDF outputs are disappointing. Some callout bubbles are unaffected, but others expand alarmingly. (All my callouts are in Capture.) I checked for hidden carriage returns in th...

I heard back from MadCap Support.

Flare still does not support Office 365 integration.

They have submitted a feature request.

P.

A year has passed.

Any progress on this?

(I am using Flare 11 and trying to connect its SharePoint Explorer to SharePoint Office 365 Online. No dice.)

Thanks
P

I don't suppose this can be done--Flare's own help does not do it. When you follow links in a browser, say in WikiPedia, no matter how far you go, when you click Back, you return to the previous page in the state you left it in--i.e. the place on the page you had scrolled to. Go back five pages, the...

Upgraded and returned to using the ribbons. So far so good.

Thanks, Rob.

Late last week I had Flare totally freeze and had to kill the process.

I read this thread:

Turns out I am running .NET framework 4.5.

I tried Rob's advice about hiding the ribbon, and this seems to have solved my keyboard problems.

Today a lot, but off and on recently, my Flare 9 editor, both XML and text mode, goes... funny. Does not freeze. But suddenly CTRL+S does not Save--I have to click the Save icon. And the delete or backspace key suddenly stops working. And finally it gets to the point where I can't even type text. Cl...

Are we any closer to getting support for these fonts? .... Apparently not. I raised the issue with support recently and was simply told No. But they were nice enough to log it on the product planning request list or whatever it is called. I saw no mention of it in the Flare 9 release info or webina...
