This worked, thanks!

I've been trying to figure out how to change the color of the "arrow" that appears at the top of the drop-down menus in a top nav header menu. I'm using a template and customizing it for a new product, and it doesn't seem like I can remove it or change it's color: arrow.PNG Any ideas? Than...

I was on the Beta of Central which is now the trial version (which may explain this, who knows). I'm attempting to sell Central to my boss for version control, but I cannot get a successful manual build to work from Central. I get the error "Project build information cannot be updated." I'...

I recently noticed that I no longer am seeing page numbers in my PDF output. Nothing has changed as far as my Page Layouts or any other settings. I've double-checked everything and have even re-inserted the page number variable into my footers. Still nothing. Anyone experiencing the same thing? Atta...

Hello, I'm trying to put together a Top Nav demo for our online help and would like to include a slideshow similar to the one in Flare's example. However, I cannot figure out how to change the color of the arrow overlays--is this even possible? I'm using our product's color palette, and the annoying...

Please ignore this post, as I am having a slow day and eventually figured out my issue and it was sooooo obvious.

In one of my projects, the HTML5 output is appearing without line or paragraph breaks, while the PDF output is fine (heading, snippet, paragraphs in snippet, etc.). I have another project that uses the same stylesheet that looks great in its HTML5 output. Any ideas? I've attached shots of the HTML5 ...

Didn't work. I followed the instructions as best I could and I'm pretty sure I did it right, but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I have to use the font family "Good OT" for marketing reasons in my title pages. Before I took this position in December, they had been generating the docs in Word and then converting them to PDF. I'd like to generate straight to PDF. Unfortunately, I'm now getting this message when I gene...

Hi! I'm having an issue that is driving me crazy: No matter what I put into my stylesheet or in the internal text editor, my column widths come out all over the place, in both PDF and Word formats. I can get everything else to look great. Just not this. Is there an example of something someone out t...

I ended up doing the PDF > Word with Acrobat for the title page so that I could edit it. Seems to be the way things will be until we go to strictly PDF targets.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

So my company still needs me to generate manuals in Word format for the time being (this annoys me). Everything generates fine, except my title page. I've added it to the target, TOC, linked it, and did all the things to make it appear in a PDF, but it will not generate. Just a blank page before the...

I got it to work, thanks!

I added a decoration and body specifications to my Title Page Layout: the decoration is an image and the body has a background color. I put a box with text in the center over the background. When I generate a PDF, the text appears but I do not get my blue background and the image does not appear. An...
