Hi, We're writing tutorials for instructor-led courses. From the Flare project, we have a target for the student version and one for the instructor guide, which include discussion points, answer keys, etc. Currently we use the PDF Options page to restrict editing and copying of text and graphics. We...

Hello,

When I move files in my global project into new sub-folders, the new sub-folders and files are imported into the child, but there are also duplicate files in the old locations. I have the Delete stale files option on in the flimp. What am I missing?

Thanks!

We are having this same issue.

Thanks!

I am on the same page about using the import Excel feature.

It's pretty unlikely at this point that this project will use source control. I may try to capture the author data with a file tag.

Thanks to both of you for your input!

Thank you! This is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm playing with this to see if there is a way to simplify the process for the group that will be working with this project.

One question: Where does the data for the "User" column come from?

Thanks again!

Hi, I'm creating a Flare template for department of people who are not and will probably never be Flare ninjas. They want to include a Table of Revisions in the PDF documents that they will output from Flare. Is there any way to generate such a table and auto-magically populate it with data from a t...

Did you ever get an answer to this question?

Can I assign a different master page to a topic (or set of topics) depending on the target output? This set of topics uses a separate masterpage from target A, but could use target B's default masterpage.
TIA

I know you can increase the number of breadcrumb items in a path by increasing the number in the mc-breadcrumbs-count, but Is there any way to limit backwards the path goes? For example, instead of Topic A>Topic B>Topic C>Topic D>Topic E>Topic F , I'd like to see Topic C>Topic D>Topic E>Topic F . Th...

Sorry, I was trying to make a distinction between linking one TOC to another (via the Properties dialog) vs. copying the contents of the second TOC into the structure of the master TOC. Are those the same thing?

Bummer. Feature request submitted.

Do you think that linking a secondary TOC to the master could be a workaround, or am I really just limited to adding that secondary TOC to the master?

Thanks

Working with Flare 2017 r2.

Is there a way to link the breadcrumbs path to a different TOC other than the master?

Thanks!

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm asking the same question.

Thank you very much, Nita!

One more question: If I save a project in 2017 r2, will I no longer be able to open it in v12?

Can I run 2017 and v 12 on the same machine? I've searched the web, but haven't found a clear answer to this yet.

Thanks!

Did you ever get or find out an answer to this question? I would like to add scroll bars to my top level menus as well.

Wendy

Added a feature request....I'm really surprised this is not possible.

So I deleted the Import files and selected the Disable auto-sync option in the targets, and the files still are linked! Is there something else that I can do?

Thanks,
Wendy

Is there any way to limit report results to a specific folder like you can with Find/Replace? If not, definitely an enhancement request.

Wendy

following this post. Hope someone has some answers.

I need the format a fifth level in the side menu. Unfortunately the Menu Skin Editor only lists four level items to format. Is there a way to add levels to this?

Thanks!

not an actual CSS...just lines that I copied.

We use complex selectors in our CSS to style our multi-level lists. Everything looks great in the HTML5 output, but for some reason the CHM does not respect the indents on second-level items (ol or ul). We had a similar problem with our print output, but that was solved by creating a different left ...

We just came upon a problem similar to this. However, due to security reasons, many of our end-users are not connected to the internet. As I understand it, the @fontface direction goes out to the internet to get the proper font. Other than having our CSS back to a system font, is there anything that...

Thanks all for the very good information! Are there any advantages to using AutoNumbering styles? We are coming from many years of working with FrameMaker & RoboHelp so everyone here is very comfortable using styles. Hopefully, I can convince my team that complex selectors are the way to go. Wendy
