Hi, I did look in the forums for an answer first (couldn't see one) and hope that this is not a duplicate.
I have about 115 (and growing) Word docs that are organized in subject-related folders outside of Flare. I have used several Flare import files to bring the content into Flare - each import ...

Can XEdit read an active directory entry for the reviewer and insert their name (initials) and today's date beside any edits in an XEdit doc sent out for review (in edit mode, i.e., not for annotation but to be changed.)?

Seminar Topic : Using Flare as a CMS to single source Help with DITA
Are you tired of writing that same help content over and over again? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to write it once and use ...

Great suggestions, thanks (especially the one about keeping the heading separate; this will greatly enhance reusing the snippets). One more question. Now that I'm going to add some structure to my snippet files, is there anything I should be aware of if I rename existing snippets? These are general ...

oops - two more questions.

Can snippets be in a Table of Contents?
Can I simply move all the topics I've already created into the snippet folder, and rename the file extension from .htm to .flsnp?

I get it, guys! Thanks. I knew there would be an answer and while it looks daunting... so did creating 3,000 topic files and the other rigamarole.

3000 snippets? Am I able to use a directory structure for snippets? How will I ever find them again? What's the maximum filename size of a snippet?

Please point me to an answer if one already exists... i looked under single sourcing and reuse but couldn't find anything to help.

The software that I'm documenting has workspaces with tabs that have fields and (sometimes) subtabs with fields. I am creating 1 topic for each field. I also have a ...

Absolutely SUPER! I used my graphics program to locate and alter the topic.gif, book.gif and bookopen.gif, recolouring them to match our corporate colours. Then I did the edits you suggested, blew away the output file and recompiled. Now I have a different colour for Concept and Reference topics ...

I'll try that this weekend and get back to you. Thanks a bunch

Is it possible to change the Book Icon (or colour) for only SELECTED topics in a TOC?
I have reviewed http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7220 but I'm not smart enuf (yet) to know if there's also a way to conditionalize the colour. I would like to have one icon/colour for Concept ...

Renaming the label worked just great! I'm a happy gurl.

thanks for your help,

(I did an advanced search of all forums and subforums and couldn't find an answer so I hope this hasn't been asked before...)

Being a righteous Canuck, I would like to rename the accordion bar in the Navigation panel of my WebHelp project which currently reads as "Favorites" to read "Favourites ...

My developer has given me a list of identifiers that I am adding to my Alias file in order to link to CSH in my project.
The main identifier will link to Items.htm where there will be info about the Items workspace in our app. Its identifier is 3dda2b11-9171-45ab-a50b-a5dc3219664a, which I copied ...

oops... my bad. I am actually looking for the ability to add "Related Topics" or "See Also" links to the text in glossary definitions. Has that been added to Flare 4.1? Or should I put in a feature request?

Did this happen to be included with Flare 4.1?
