Thank you, Dave. I was just 'hoping' for a solution with less work I would rather ask to see if there was a simpler solution, rather than go about it the hard way and later find out there was an easier way..... Oh well, I guesss I know what I'll be doing today....

I have a large parent project and would like to take a LOT of topics, snippets, etc. and make them their own project (not linked at all to the parent project). I don't think I want to use the import feature to create the new project because of the links. I can probably create a duplicate project the...

I just got feedback from MadCap support. They indicated that Capture is working as designed (that the Zoom Effect cannot be added to an inserted image. I thought that I had been doing this...... guess not. The solution is to capture both images at once, then add the zoom.

I use to do this, but it seems this feature broke. I open an image in Capture, then go to Edit > Insert Image (or copy / paste) to place a second image next to the first image. I use the Zoom Effect on the first (original image) and that works fine. If I use the Zoom Effect again on the second (inse...

I am building both PDF and online projects. I have the online images set as thumbnails on the screen (the user will click the image to enlarge the thumbnail), however, if the topic is printed, the image remains a thumbnail. Is there a way to get the thumbnail to print as an enlarged image? Has anyon...

OK - Thank you. That is what I was doing initially, then thought there had to be a better way!

Thanks for your help.

I am using Flare 9.1.1. I am unsure how Flare handles tab stops. I like the way Word handles them on the ruler, but can't find where Flare handles tabs. Currently, I am having to insert text into table cells - which is becoming cumbersome. Any suggestions out there? Thanks for responding and trying...

Never mind..... I found what I needed.

How does one get a topic that is not a part of a TOC to not be a part of the serach results in a Help project? For example, I have a topic that contains the word 'junk' . This topic is NOT a part of a TOC. When I build my Help project for that TOC and do a search on the word " junk ", the ...

Great suggestions I appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you.

I am still new at Flare and creating my first project which I have now decided needs to be split between one Global and one Child project (with more child projects in the future). Where is the best place to keep the targets, the TOCs, Header files, and Alias files - in the Global project or in the C...

Wonderful! There are so many nooks and crannies in this app to hide setup options. At least I have options!

Thank you.

I am still struggling through a few issues in Flare v8 (using Flare for about 10 days now). One is setting the Medium to always be DEFAULT. It seems to bounce between the 3 options and it seems that I am always changing it back to DEFAULT. Is there a way to set up Flare to always be DEFAULT? Thank y...

I sometimes need to shift something around on a screen capture (ie - reposition a button or grab some background to coverup another part of the screen). SnagIt does a beautiful job of this but I can't find how to do the same thing in Capture. Suggestions?

I am new to Capture (a long time user of SnagIt). Can someone tell me if Capture can easily capture a drop down menu along with the menu bar? This is what I am trying to accomplish and I am SURE others are already doing this. I have struggled with this for 2 days and I can't figure it out. drop down...
