Hi all! I have a large Google doc that has been the User Manual for one of our products. I feel that it is time to pull it into Flare, but I'm not sure which is the most efficient way of doing this. I tried downloading it as a Word doc and then importing it using both H1 & H2 as topic separators...

I have yet to use Mimic successfully when recording a full screen. I was told for my first trouble-tix to try all of this: Questions: 1) Regarding the size of the capture region, are you capturing the entire screen in your Movie or just a portion of it? I assume that you're using the End key to fini...

Thanks for your reply @doloremipsum! My company is not going to buy into that when they have been using Google docs, and it is a lot less $$. I did try to use Microsoft's OneDrive as a way to share my files but it immediately showed itself as not a good collaboration tool. My SME's had to log on and...

I am also using Google docs for collaboration. The last post was in 2016 so I'm wondering if this is still a thing for everyone?

But seeings how you got no help here in the community, I will be re-thinking this move! Thank you for posting this revealing questi...

Hi. I did a search on the very subject line here on the forum and couldn't find anything, so apologies if this topic has been covered. I have a screenshot of the home screen from where everything happens in our software. I'm hoping to make this interactive but before I even get to that, I want to kn...

Kali, This is a little off your original post but I'm interested in knowing how you created this: ../Default.htm#(filepath) in the first place. What is your Target Output and settings, please? My developers what to use that, actually: ../Default.htm#(topic which is the filename.htm) To link to the t...

I just started using Flare. I'm a RoboHelp longtimer. I've imported my project no problem. My .css/styles seemed to be present at first. And then I started having this same issue. No matter what or where I am, I don't have the styles available to me, and there was no pattern as to which styles were ...
