I kept playing with it and found out it showed up because there was only one topic under the book and the book was linked to a topic as well although I think it is more that the book itself links to something. When I added the link as a subtopic under that book there was no mini-TOC with that link, ...

I was going through my WebHelp and found one topic that has what appears to be a mini-TOC at the bottom. We don't use mini-TOCs in our Help, just Related Topic links. However, some topics have the green previous/next arrows at the bottom as well. This mini-TOC is new however. Any ideas where it came...

I do have a pagebreak set to always before my H1 tags as the only place we use them is at the start of a topic and all topics start on their own page. Otherwise they all run together in the PDF. I set the breadcrumbs proxy in the masterpage to a ScreenOnly condition, but the best I can do is to prev...

We just have WebHelp and HTMLHelp. We don't do printed output (neither did my last job), but I have a rough PDF style setup just for internal reviews before things get published. My PDFs don't have page numbers or the date though and those are being printed from the browser. I wasn't sure how much o...

Is there a way to control what is printed when a user clicks the print icon at the top of the help? Currently the first page includes the date, HTML title, and breadcrumb at the top and the URL and page 1/2 at the bottom with nothing in between while in this case the second page has the date and HTM...

Hillary, We ended up downgrading my coworker to 7.2 so that we are both on the same version. We didn't want to pay for me to upgrade and to then still have issues. We don't have a subscription to Support and aren't allowed to send our files out or let anyone connect to us so we've had somewhat limit...

I have several different classes for images in Flare and I've noticed when I changed the max-width in the Print medium it not only changes the class I am changing, but all of the others too. In other words, img.icon is 500 wide and so are my screenshots. I'd rather my icons not be more than say 30 w...

Is there any way to replace topics in a CHM file with older versions? With the WebHelp we can just click and drag from an older copy of course, but how do we do this with a CHM? Someone mentioned using an HHP file to change it in HTML Help Workshop, but I can't find an HHP file. Ideas?

Robin

We are producing both WebHelp and a CHM. The CHM is supposed to be going away eventually.

For your synonyms, a synonym can only be a single word, so "magnetic stripe reader" won't work; although Flare doesn't show any errors to tell you that! Also, it may be useful to add a synonym for strip=stripe, if your audience uses both these terms interchangably. I had actually wondered...

I added a Synonym file with the group MSR=Magnetic Stripe Reader but when I search for MSR I get 7 results and when I search for Magnetic Stripe Reader I get 17 results (without containing quotes) and 4 results with quotes. Shouldn't I be getting the same results for each?

Robin

This may be a dumb question and perhaps I've just forgotten since I haven't fiddled with the index much the last couple of months, but is there a way to get MSR and Magnetic Stripe Reader to act like the same keyword and return the same results without having to enter links for each? So that it know...

I have managed to resolve most issues, by un-checking "Use TOC depth for heading levels" which I didn't think sounded relevant to my issues, but apparently at least partly was. I even scripted some of my own code in the internal editor, but I put exactly what the WYSIWYG controls had. Howe...

I have gone into the Targets and assigned a medium, but they are all by project using a Master Stylesheet.

I found a similar issue (Myriad Pro Cond font not working for print medium http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7358 ), but I am also having other issues so I'm making a new topic. Although I am not using Myriad Pro, I am having the same issue in 7.2 where I changed the font from...

Has anyone had the message I've attached below? I didn't see it posted above. My coworker and I remapped multiple times on Monday and finally got TFS working better. We're actually seeing icons and things we didn't see before with regards to source control, etc (like actually seeing when the other h...

One of the developers says it is supposed to be based off of keywords. So should using one topic per keyword work then as a lot of keywords have more than one topic using that keyword?

Robin

It just wasn't publishing when I told it to. I tried multiple times before it actually did it. The destination was correct, but it wouldn't overwrite for whatever reason. I was looking at the time the folders were modified in the explorer and it wasn't changing. I wondered if Flare was getting confu...

Has anyone ever come across a situation where your WebHelp has one version of the topic, but the CHM is showing another? I don't have any conditions or anything set differently between what to publish or not publish in the different outputs. For some reason my WebHelp has the correct image, but the ...

Nita, I didn't see that one in my search results, thanks! However, I don't have any Captivate Files and no overly long tables (200 rows & only a few pages long). This is my first time using a PDF output with Flare as well as our main output is WebHelp and a CHM. I'm not aware of any scans being ...

Does it tend to take several times longer to generate PDF Output than WebHelp? I'm trying to setup a PDF output for use when someone wants to send a topic from our Help to someone who can't access our help (password protected WebHelp & built into software). When I try View PDF Flare goes until i...

Version 7.2. Web Help and CHM When I click the Related Topics link the drop down doesn't appear. This is in the Web Editor where you click the icon at the top and the preview window pops up. Related Topics should work here. They always have until now. I've never had any sort of messages/warnings app...

My Related Topics still aren't working. Has anyone ever run into this?

Thanks,

Robin

I added a Related Topics Control to a topic and when I preview the topic and click the Related Topics link, nothing happens. I removed the RT, re-added it, copied/pasted it into other topics I wanted to use it in, even closed Flare (7.2) and deleted my Analyzer, Output, and Source Control folders, b...

All, I am trying to mimic the styling of an existing topic by turning it into a table style so I can reuse it easily. Flare, however, isn't making this easy. I've been playing with padding, spacing, separators, colors...everything for at least an hour and even got a web dev to try to help thinking a...
