Hi Trent, I'm using the option to have the images embedded in the Word output. If I right click on any of the images in the Word doc I can only view the size (in cm) of the original and the scaled image and there seems to be only very little to no difference (see example attached). If I don't use th...

Hi everyone, I found several posts related to fuzzy images, but they were mostly about PDF output and/or real printed output, so before registering a ticket at Madcap Support I would like to run this issue by this group first. Due to the requirements of several customers I need to be able to produce...

Hi, I have the same issue. In my XREFS only the page number is clickable, the rest of the link isn't. Madcap confirmed to me a couple of months ago that this is a known issue. There doesn't seem to be happening much to get it resolved. This is one of the quite frustrating limitations to the Flare Wo...

Hi, The thing is that I have quite a lot of conditions in place already and I guess I am kind of worried that at some point they will start conflicting. We are moving towards a standard product but for the moment we do a lot of project customization/configuration that I need to take into account. By...

Hi everyone, I am producing several sets of user manuals for our software products. For several reasons, our current customers want to receive them in Word format. They themselves take care of translations of these manuals but we are required to provide the screenshots from our translated product UI...

Hi Dave, It worked for 5 years in my previous company. Unfortunately I was not able to take my CSS along to my new workplace so I had to kind of recreate the set up from memory in the newest version of Flare. Possibly a setting slipped my mind. I indeed need to cleanup the CSS, there are a number of...

Hi everyone, Since a couple of months I have been enduring a quite annoying issue in Flare which I've finally decided to try and tackle, hopefully with some help from this community. To insert user notifications in topics I have set up a snippet which I then drag into to the topic and convert to tex...

Hi there, For some projects I need SME input for glossary maintenance and was hoping to be able to do this through the review function in Central. When working in Flare I am not able however to "send" the glossary file for review on Central. Selecting the file greyes out the button in the ...

Hi Steve, Yep, that was the culprit. I do use an external screen next to my laptop. Some further digging brought me to this: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27784&hilit=small+icons Part of the last solution advised on that page did the trick: Go to the Flare.exe, right...

Hello everyone, I am noticing a strange behavior in the PDF page layout editor in Flare: - The page that I'm working on in the workspace is displayed very small and I cannot zoom in on it although I believe it should be possible to do so. - Only the top half of the ruler digits is showing. See attac...

Hi, I manage a multilingual online help system for 3 different machine software platforms. Due to the way our machine software picks up the online help content from Flare through source control, I need to have a structure with one folder per language in which the translated Flare projects sit. In ea...

I was going to say that I tried that and it didn't work but luckily I gave it another try

CSS:
div.highlight
{
background-color: #ffff00;
}

This time it worked. Not sure what went wrong earlier but it's fine now.

Thanks!

regards

David

Hi there I'm trying to find out how I can apply a yellow background to a paragraph that holds already a number of styles, without changing those styles. The purpose is to indicate items that still need rework. Example below shows a P.body that will eventually be replaced by an image and the p.captio...

Hi cclark, I know this post is already quite old, but I was wondering if you could share whether your setup is still up and running and if you needed to make adjustments as you went along? Reason for asking is that I would also like to try and push Flare content to an existing website. For the momen...

Hello there, Currently the HTML5 based Online Help I produce with Flare is accessable through our machine software UI. We also have Pulse running but we would like to step away from the standard user registration/management process. When an operator logs on to the machine software, he logs on with t...

Ok, I found out I completely misunderstood the concept.

Page breaks needed to be set to "avoid" the break in the first place and then the issue with the footer doesn't even occur...

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with tables running over several pages that are actually overlapping the page footer (see screenshot). Usually I don't apply tables for documenting procedure steps like this so I never came across this issue before, but it was a requirement from the requestor in this...

Thanks for your suggestion, seems to make sense when the output is HTML.

Maybe I should have mentioned that the target is a PDF output, so in the output folder there are no seperate files, only the PDF...

thanks for your reply.

I do have a tool to create lists of files that are present in folders and subfolders but indeed I have more than one target so that won't work.

Also just discovered you cannot open an entire project in Contributor, only seperate files/review packages.

Hi there, Next week I will be getting help from a student worker who will take screenshots of our translated UI which will then be used in my translated machine operator manuals. As he will not have Flare on his PC I would like to provide him with a list of used images for that specific target. In F...

Hi everyone, When I export my translated Lingo project to a new Flare project, almost of all my condition tags are messed up. Instead of the text that the conditions apply to, Flare shows the XML code in the topic as well as in the output. In the condition tags that failed it also adds the tag "...

Hi everyone, I merged an XLIFF bundle with 10 languages into Lingo. Worked fine, except for Danish. Lingo error log shows file list and says they cannot be found in the source nor in the target folders. When clicking further I got the message "no relevant files found". Troubleshooting done...

Hi everyone, I imported a Flare target into Lingo, created an XLIFF bundle and had it translated. Meanwhile the name of my source Flare project had to be changed (long story, has to do with some requirements from our developers...). When I now open the Lingo project it complains that it can't find i...
