Hi. I have a number of different machines. On the front cover of my user guide I have the machine name and an image. In my master project, I want to set up several page layouts, each one has a different machine image & name. In a project, which may be single source for several machines, I want F...

Did you ever get a solution to this? I'd really like to know how to change the buttons.
Joanna

Thanks. Would love to know why this is happening.

Hi
Anyone had images appearing upside down when inserted in Flare (In other graphics program they are the right way up.
Joanna

Hi
I would like to give users the option to print the whole output when it is made up of multiple topics - not just individual topic. (HTML output - side menu)

Does anyone have a solution for this (the print button could be either in the side pane or in the header)?

Thanks in advance.
Joanna

Hi
Did you get a reply/fix from Madcap?
I need to add multi-sheet Visio flowcharts as separate topics in Flare and I am looking for the easiest and quickest way to do this.
Joanna

Hi How are you marking changes in projects so that it is easiest for reviewers to easily see what changes were made, without reviewing the whole document again (talking about PDF outputs)? Apart from turning on the track changes (which I feel is buggy), are there any other easy non-time-consuming so...

Hi In my global project (template)... I have a front page heading. It can be H1 or I can change it to be a unique style, not used anywhere else in the project. I would like to be able to automatically pick up the text from that header (1st header in pdf/unique header in pdf) and use it as the footer...

Hi I did something I never do. I installed the new version immediately I got the notification and now I am sorry..... I have a home page in topnav that worked absolutely fine in previous version (2020 r1) and now I can't click in my search bar.... I have a home page flmsp, home page htm.I In the flm...

Did you get a reply regarding conditions not working?

HI Rob
When you say "static text" you mean that the same will appear on all pages?

HI I can create 2 body frames in a page layout document. But the text flows automatically from column to column. (And the h1 has the number in the first column and the text in the 2nd column.) I need to know how to create a document in which there are 2 columns (of different widths), where from page...

Thanks so much. That worked.

In Flare, it is not giving me an option to select another program. See attachment.

Hi I changed computer and all of a sudden when I try to open a picture in Flare in another graphics program by right-clicking the image and selecting "Open linked file with", the only option is "MSPaint.exe" even though I have Snagit on my computer. (My computer was basically mir...

Hi
Does anyone use Flare with Sharepoint (installed or cloud)?
What are the pros/cons/limits?

We have having trouble managing single sourcing without an external CMS that works also with Flare projects.
Thanks

OK, so I got a reply from Madcap: For the "inject empty page...." checkbox to actually work, you have to have defined in your page layout for that page also an empty page. 1. Make sure "Inject empty page..." is checked in the target. 2. Open the page layout file (the one for whic...

Hi In my back cover page, I defined the page layout as layout page layout break page type left auto-end on left page enabled. In the target, I checked the "Inject empty pages as needed to ensure TOC nodes start on their selected pages" But the last page still comes out as page 25 (does not...

Hi
So I am not sure if the lack of response means that no-one has a solution/suggestion or no-one has a problem with their pdf file sizes

Did you find a solution apart from changing all your images?
My pdfs in Flare seem to be much bigger than pdfs from Word, and also the helps (HTML5) are huge too (some 100+mB).

Joanna

Hi
PDF sizes (MBs) seem much bigger than they were when making PDFs from Word Docs. Anyone experienced this? Found a solution?

Joanna

We have this problem, just out of interest, where does the "facing page" text come from? it doesn't exist in the project (according to our search)

Hi I have a cover page and then a TOC topic. The TOC topic has an h1 heading and the the madcap TOC proxy. In pdf, TOC starts on the next page, not after the h1 heading, which remains on it's own. I have set page-break-before the h1 heading to "always". I have set page-break-after the h1 h...

Hi
We are having issues where the graphic elements (blue strips) show up in Flare and in the Flare preview, but in the PDF output they do not appear.
The blue strips come from the page layout.
I have checked the page layout, and that it is correctly selected....

Joanna

Hi
How can I define that the chapter name will show up in the page footer (heading level 1) without the chapter number?
Thanks
