Thank you! :c) I will give that a try. I know this isn't related to my original question but is there a way to have page breaks ignored in the online version of a doc? I need those in the PDF version for certain topics but the online version translates page breaks as an empty page when using the Pri...

Hello- I need some help finding the tooltip setting that currently displays "Navigate next" and "Navigate previous". These display for the buttons that are added by default at the bottom of each page. I'm setting up the HTML5 Tripane (dark) template and have searched everywhere t...

I would also be interested in hearing if anyone else is dealing with having to move from Flare to WordPress. I've just learned that my company plans to use WordPress for their main company site and that it will be cloud hosted by WP Engine. I'll no longer be able to host Flare's online help when all...

I've searched in Mimic's help and can't find any help with how to automatically advance from one movie to another. I have a "collection" with 3 movies and am needing the list to advance to the next one in the series. Is this possible? I have a version 6 book I bought that mentions how to d...

Hello- I ran across your post in the Flare forum. My company is about to switch from Microsoft's TFS product to Azure DevOps & Git. I was wondering if you might have some tips or any info actually about possible pitfalls to avoid when setting up Flare for Git & Azure DevOps? Or possibly some...

Does anyone know what the Flare file "undefinedStylesheet.xml" is used for? The reason I'm asking is that file is listed in a "missing file" report that our webmaster compiles. I need to find out why it's missing but I'm not sure if it's needed by the online help file or not. As ...

We also have had problems since all of the Windows updates installed last week. I'm not sure if they're related to the updates or to the new Flare build though. So far this week we're able to use the updated version of Flare. It starts and doesn't crash like it had been doing. The problem we're seei...

Hi Kellie,

Yes, we're seeing the same thing. A new sub-directory and a new page layout was added to our projects. Did you submit a bug yet to Madcap?

Is it the header file that gets passed to the developer? There's a command in the Tools menu labeled "Export Header File(s)" that I'm guessing I need to generate for the developer but I'm not sure.

That was it Dave I'm able to test the CSH links now. Thank you very much!

Thank you Dave. I'll check that target setting.

Hi Ramon- hope you're still watching this thread...or someone who can help. So, I assigned an Alias identifier to a handful of topics. They also have "Values" that increment automatically. But when I test if CSH is pointing to the correct topics, none of my "Topic Identifiers" ar...

Thank you Ramon. It sounds like the better path to take is the one using aliases - less work in the long run for me and the developer when the help system is updated/regenerated. I'll start working with the aliases and hopefully can get those going. Thank you so much Ramon for your help.

I read over the Flare CSH guide and am rereading parts of it again. But I'm not understanding it or something. What I need is CSH to certain topics in a Webhelp help system that gets installed on the user's local computer. The help system is for a desktop application. Will I need a header file, alia...

@GaryUK...never mind my earlier question about where the setting is - I finally noticed that Flare 12 handles this automatically, it's not a user setting

@GaryUK, Hi Gary. You mentioned that we can now map Flare 12 headings to Word headings when building Word output...where is that setting ? I've looked and looked and can't find it. This is an awesome new feature for sure - no more post changes in the Word output file
