Re: Multiple spellings of same glossary term?

Does anyone know the best way to allow for multiple spellings of a given glossary term? I know that Flare lets you insert several different terms (one per line) in the Glossary dialog, however this results in multiple glossary entries, one for each spelling or use of capitalization. This adds an ...

Cross reference not linking in Word output

So I'm running into this issue where hyperlinks appear as working links in MS Word, but cross-references appear as plaintext only. I've used {h1} and {paratext} to no avail.

Interestingly enough, the {page} tag works! It links to the correct page, and updates when you change the document.

How can ...

"Multiple" line spacing in Word output

I'm using the li tag for steps, and using soft line breaks (the br tag) to include screenshots below them.

I can set the line spacing with the line-height CSS element, but that gets converted into "At Least" spacing in Microsoft Word. This causes the images to be smushed up against the text ...

Re: Collate targets (w/ different conditions) into HTML5 output

Oh, you mentioned targets and conditions but never mentioned TOCs.

Are all the target files in one project? And are you doing a TOC for each target now?

Or do you mean you have multiple projects and you want to merge their outputs at build time?

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't exactly sure ...

Re: Collate targets (w/ different conditions) into HTML5 output

I'd create a new condition set, add the same condition names that exist in your other condition sets, then go through each target and point it to the new condition set and appropriate conditions for that target. Once you've done that, you'll need to do a Find-and-Replace in Flare with "Find in ...

Collate targets (w/ different conditions) into HTML5 output

So, basically, I've been plugging along in Flare 9 for the past couple of months, creating a single project with multiple targets for each type of user (and conditions for each one).

Now, I can output the individual targets nicely for each user, which is great.

However, I would like to incorporate ...

Re: "This Frame" preview does not honor soundtrack timing

I hope that our investment in Mimic was a good idea - not entirely sold just yet because almost every time I work with it I run into a glitch, which is getting old quick.

I feel the same.

I had planned to do my tutorials in single-segment blocks. However, the delays I'm getting in the audio vs ...

I'm having the same problem, and I've submitted a bug request to this effect. Thanks for pointing it out!

This makes it really challenging to work with audio...
