I'm running into a "crash" error when trying to save certain images in Capture (the quotes are because the program doesn't actually crash). The error pops up several times in a row. It repeatedly prompts me to discard all changes, though I can click 'No' and it will eventually save the cha...

Glad you got everything resolved, and thanks for following up with an explanation of what the problem actually was!

Assuming this is manually-entered data, you can use conditional text to include/exclude content from specific targets. So in your case, you'd add: $3,000.00 ← Create and apply a condition like "US Only" R3 000,00 ← Create and apply a condition like "ZA Only" Then, configure which...

I retested with the "convert first occurrence" option set, and Flare definitely created separately links correctly in HTML5 output. Perhaps Flare 2020 fixed that issue with 2019? I would suggest: Create a brand new project, enter just your glossary terms, and test out the HTML5 output with...

Hi, Do you have all 3 terms entered separately in your glossary file? Which conversion option do you have set in your HTML5 target? Open the target file and check the "Glossary" tab if you need to. I'm using Flare 2020 so my results might not be exactly the same, but in my tests Flare dete...

(Would be even happier if I could also remember how to NOT have the Start page appear every time I open Flare, because the first thing I do EVERY TIME is close it. I'm sure I didn't always have to have it appear every time I open Flare...) Same here. None of the solutions I've seen suggested work. ...

In the File menu, there should be a button labeled "Manage Recent Projects" toward the bottom/right corner. Click it to open the "Recent Projects" window, then click "Remove All."

This should apply to 2019r2 and 2020; I haven't used any other versions though.

In-line CSS styling uses a different syntax from HTML attributes. You need to set the style= attribute, and any CSS properties within the required quotation marks. In your case: <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; border-style: hidden;"> See this page for a detailed expla...

Ooh. That worked brilliantly. Thank's Gene K. For anyone that might find this post of interest, there's a slight mistake in step 3 of Gene K's instructions to be used in the Flare Stylesheet editor - I had to type div.tip instead of div.example. Glad to help, and sorry for the typo - I used my own ...

Yes, you can do that. Use a selector that targets div.tip child elements with div.update parents. Here's example code (added separately from your div.tip and div.update code). div.update div.tip { background-color #FFFFFF; } To do this through the Flare Stylesheet editor: Right-click on div.update, ...

Thanks! Flex boxes were just the thing. Everything is behaving now. A note for people who might be wrestling with a similar problem in the future: I found that specifying the flex display option prevented my divs from changing layout when the mobile break-point was hit, so I ended up with all three...

Hi Fee, It sounds like I will need to know the styles created by Flare in the Word doc? I am confident I will know how to do it, I just need some info about how to get the style to remove the paragraph spacing. From memory, once published it Word, there is actually a different style on the 'problema...

Hi Gene, That's exactly what's happening. Word is inserting a space before and after on the paragraph within the cell (I already knew that was happening - but I assumed it was a setting in Flare that I missed that was doing it). For now there is only one row that has the issue, so I've been manuall...

To clarify, you use your custom row when you need to add extra "header" rows later in your table, correct? Exactly! We don't use this very often, but there are a few cases where we need a row to appear as if it's a "header" row. But as you mentioned with the header columns, this...

Question: Did you try resizing your browser window, or is it in full-screen? I played around with these settings a bit and here are my results: Web= default, Tablet/Mobile= none: Search bar appears in full-screen but disappears when windowed. Web/Tablet= default, Mobile= none: Search bar appears in ...

Hello, I've redone this post from its original version to hopefully make it easier to work with and include additional information I picked up from ongoing troubleshooting. I am building divs to use as notices (NOTE, WARNING, DANGER, etc.) with icons as background images. I've more or less figured o...

In our table styles, I added a custom column style for this. After applying the table style, you can right-click the column and select the custom column style. While not completely automated, it does prevent the need for inline formatting. Thank you! This helped me realize that I didn't need to wor...

Hello, I know that the <th> scope attribute allows creating tables with a header column rather than row . However, this option seems to be missing from the "Insert Table" tool and is separate from table styles (which only apply CSS). I would like to avoid manually restructuring my tables w...

Great, thanks. Tucking that little trick away for possible later use.

And it worked! I just had to tweak the h1.chapter selector: Removed margin-left Changed text-indent to -0.25in Glad you found a solution. It took me a moment to get a clear idea of what you did, so just to confirm: Added display: block to your span.ChapAutoNum , forcing everything after onto a new ...

I see that your chapter auto-numbering is styled differently from your actual chapter headings through your span tag. I don't know how many chapters you're dealing with, so this may not be viable, but perhaps: Attach your chapter auto-numbering to a different custom paragraph style, like p.Chapter o...

How do you get a uniform height on row items using flex? I'm not a flex expert, but I don't know how to get a uniform height using flex. But using CSS Grid definitely would handle this - https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/ I'm not a flex expert either (so I can't really get int...

Hello, While I don't know if Flare has a GUI tool for this feature, CSS's "flexbox" function is probably the solution to your problem. W3C guide to flexboxes: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_flexbox.asp Example 3rd-party guide that might help with understanding: https://css-tricks.com/s...

Hello, I would like to use the table "AutoFit to contents" setting to let them shrink to the minimum size needed to fit content, but apply a max-width of 90% to limit how big they can get on printed pages. However, max-width does not seem to have any effect. I have applied a table style th...

I don't know if you've solved this already, but if the spacing before/after a paragraph occurs when you insert a new row in Word then I would assume that it is Word adding the extra spacing. Word has its own styling, and it may be adding something that overrides whatever you've done in Flare . Check...
