I'm looking for help with making my table headers repeat, like the "repeat header row" option for tables in Word. I'd also like the columns to be sortable, but I don't see an option for that in the table styles. Has anyone been able to create sortable table columns? To create a repeating h...

@Dave Lee, I'm not using 2020 yet, but that feature is great to know about. Thank you!

Thank you, doloremipsum. I was able to find where the span is being used by entering <span class="spanname">. This is very helpful!

I'm trying to figure out if there are any topics in my project that have a certain span applied to any of the text. I'm wondering if there might be a way to search all topics and see if the span is being used on any of them.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thank you for the suggestions, Jeff! Those are good ideas. I'll try out grouping to reduce the number of dropdowns and see how that looks.

Has anyone had user feedback about the use of dropdowns on a topic? For example, say you have 10 fields to describe, and all that content makes for a very long page that users have to scroll through. To reduce the page length, you put the description of each field into a dropdown. The heading for th...

Wow, Jeff! Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I will try your suggestions for centering, as well as for width. The bar needs to be shorter than the width of the welcome text above it, but the only way I've been able to get it to appear smaller so far is by adding a margin to either side of...

I'm trying to figure out how to place the SearchBarProxy in the center of my hero image on the homepage. I have it in the image, but I can't get it to move from the bottom of the image to the middle. I also don't want the search bar that's in the header to be impacted by the search bar on the homepa...

Thank you, Dave. I set the opacity as a custom style, and it did make the image transparent, but it also made the text over the image transparent. Now, I need to figure out how to separate the background image from the text I place over it so that only the background image has transparency.

I have an image on my homepage that I'd like to make somewhat transparent so that the text over the image is easier to read. I see where I can set the image to transparent in the stylesheet by changing Background from default to transparent. But, when I do that, the image is completely gone. I don't...

Thank you for the replies! Very interested to hear how Elasticsearch goes for you @wclass.

@rogersm, autocomplete will be very helpful for us if it works. I'll have to look into the fuzzy matching.

We're looking to switch from MadCap Search to either Google Search or Elasticsearch. I'm wondering if anyone has had success using either of these search options and how your experience has been.

If you're using Google Search, were you able to disable the ads?

Thanks!

How do I stop the Progress pop-up from appearing each time I save changes? I'm using v.13. I used to be able to click Save and not get a pop-up, so I'm not sure why it's showing up now. I looked for a setting to disable it but couldn't find one.

I can't figure out how to select multiple words/phrases at the same time when they appear in different paragraphs/bullets on the same Flare topic, so I'm not able to use your workaround. But, thank you for the response. I appreciate it!

Does anyone know how to apply the same style at the same time to multiple words that appear in different paragraphs but on the same topic? For example, I want to apply a blue bold style to 3 words on my topic. But, because they're in different places on the topic, I have to apply the style to each w...
