Hello, The filter icon that appears as part of the search bar in my HTML5 skin has disappeared from the built target but does appear in the skin styles and when I preview the skin. It disappears when I build the target. I haven't changed anything in the skin and can't figure out why it's no longer a...

Hello, I am trying to build a Word target using Flare 12 to Word 2016. I successfully built this target last month. Today, I changed the TOC and added a new file output name. I used the same file naming convention from last month when the build was successful. To my knowledge, nothing has changed on...

Hello devjoe, I appreciate the suggestion of multiple targets. What I currently have set up is one PDF target for my release notes then multiple TOCs, one TOC for each code branch, then I update the target with the needed TOC, variables and output file name in the Target. It seems like a lot of addi...

Hello! My projects are fairly hefty, they're help menus for a wholesale and point of sale/accounting applications. When I worked with MadCap support, they used one of my projects, duplicated my PC set up but had no trouble which throws doubt on the issue of projects being created in earlier versions...

Hello, This may not be the correct forum but I am at a loss. I am currently using v12 and have noticed a great deal of latency when adding images. It takes over a minute to add an image. But why are you posting here you may ask? Fair question. What I have noticed is that the projects that were creat...

The Target Master page layout is also set to default. However, when I look at the Master Page Folder, there are no page layouts. I checked the Project that also points to the default master page layout. So what are my options to correct this? Should I create a master page layout named default? Or sh...

Hello, I'm hoping someone can assist with this baffling problem I'm experiencing. I am generating a PDF target and the generated file includes Page Layouts that are NOT associated with the TOC. Each Topic is set to the medium of Print. The topics in the TOC are all set as Break Type None. The Page l...

Yes I'm certain. The only thing that has changed is content within the topic.

I got an email since you responded to the thread and prompted me to break out my problem a little clearer. V11 on windows 8 PDF target with a static output file name publish initially with no problems change text in topics build the target again, received build successful re-publish using the same o...

I am having a similar problem when I build PDF targets using v11. In instances where I've made a change and want to build and re-publish a PDF target, I was able to with v10 and the new build over-wrote what was already published. Each PDF target has it's own unique output file name and that stays t...

Ha! You'd think it's a Monday. :oops: I never rule out that maybe I'm doing something wrong. I located the alias file I last sent to the developers that they want in Excel and did a search for what I need to rename the topic to. The file name does not exist but the it is the name of the identifier I...

Thanks for your reply! I'm not using a Source Control system. So this is a basic as I thought it could be. I have two projects for two applications residing on the same network drive. I unfortunately have a window in both applications named the same but have different functionality. For CSH, I'm try...

Hello, I have a topic that I need to rename to match what the window name is in the application. I'm currently using Flare 10.2 and have two projects set up for two different applications. They live on the same network drive whether that makes a difference or not, I don't know. When I'm in project A...

Thanks for all the responses! I suspected that it wouldn't cause any issues but being a "seeing is believing' kind and I can't see it work with my test project, I didn't want to learn the hard way!

Hello, I'm hoping for some guidance in regards to building the Alias file for our HTML Help target. I'm using Flare 10.2 on a Windows 8 machine for a bit of background. The application I document is set up with several menus that can be thought of as separate modules within the application. I have o...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Although it sounds like a great tool, I don't have SnagIt available to me. I followed Atomdocs steps and it works!

Wow! Hats off to you for figuring out this process! I'll give it a try and post back if I have any difficulty.

Thank you!

Thanks! I'll give that a try. Is there a process of making a request with Madcap for enhancements? It seems this would be a useful function. I know the application I document has a ton of drop down menus. I was capturing them with Snip-it but with a change to my PC, that functionality seems to have ...

Hello, Is there any way to use Capture to get a screenshot of an open drop down menu? There's a new field on the application I document with a drop down menu with a variety of options for the user to select and I'd like to display the field with the menu open. Every attempt I've made with Capture cl...

Gotcha, I see what you mean now. If you have your stylesheet open, and are using the Simplified view, you would select the drop down for Show Topic: Styles, it includes the HTML tag. I'm very accustomed to selecting List styles, paragraph styles so expected to see html style. I can be very literal. ...

Hello, I'm attempting to do this, I would like one Stylesheet used for my Welcome page and another for the remaining topics. Basically this is to get the product logo on the Welcome page but not on the subsequent topics. We'll be generating a HTML Help target. I've read the KB article and I get to s...

Hello, To jump on this topic, I have a similar situation and need some guidance. I currently have three separate Flare projects for applications that are almost stand-alones but are related. We will be moving to web-based help in the first quarter of 2015 and I'm wondering if I should use a global l...

Hello, I just experienced this issue when generating a PDF target using v 10.2. We have a little quirk however, this file is updated almost daily and published with the same name to the same network location. I have published in this manner before successfully so am unsure what the problem may be. I...

Thank you! I add this to the CSS and it helped immensely! I did find a problem with how we captured some of the images we're using. They are a portion of an application window and when I re-captured them using Capture Window, they are sizing when we manipulate the browser window size. We've removed ...

Hello, I have a topic with three images but not all the images are resizing to the browser window. The first image in the topic is a image of the application window in it's entirety then the second and third images are images of just certain areas of the application window. Some topics have just one...
