We have dividers in between our chapters for a PDF output. When I added these in the TOC before each chapter, the "auto end left page" doesn't work anymore for the last page before the divider page. If I make the divider page be a "chapter break," it messes up the numbering for t...

Thanks. This isn't a topic I created in Flare. It's a PDF I imported in. So, it doesn't have any heading styles from the Flare stylesheet.

I have a tear out (it's a PDF file) that is after the cover and before the TOC. I do not want it listed in the TOC. Is this possible?

I'm an idiot! I see to click the XML tab. I panicked!

When I double click to open a topic, it opens in the internal text editor. I want it open in the WYSIWYG view. How do I fix that?

That worked, Rob! Thank you!

In order for a cross-reference to work (i.e. not have See "" on page 2 show up in the output) I had to put a heading level on it in the stylesheet. Now, though, those headings show up in the TOC, and I don't want them to. How can I make this heading appear in the cross reference in the out...

I fixed it!! The style for the heading needs to be defined in mc-heading-level (under Printer Support).

Two issues I can't figure out:

1. in PDF output, some cross references don't have a period after them when in Flare it's there!
2. In PDF output, some cross references are " ", not displaying the heading when it's also there in Flare.

I've looked in the code and nothing seems weird.

Hi. I'm outputting three different manuals from one Flare project. One manual needs to have a 14pt font (and headings need to coordinate with those) the other two I'd like to have 11pt or 12 pt font (with the headings adjusted for that size). Is there a way to do this with one stylesheet? Maybe I do...

When I build the French output for html5, the "Contents" tab doesn't have "Contents" on it. It is blank. The Glossary text is on the correct tab, but the Contents one is blank. This doesn't happen in other languages. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi! I have images, but resizing them doesn't seem to help.

Hi! I have a table at 100% and it appears in my PDF output off the page on the right. When I look in Flare, it's within the body frame I have set in the page layout.

Thanks for any help.

I figured it out. I had my images right aligned and making them left aligned fixed it!

Hi. I have a 3 column table with images in the last (3rd) column. When I output a PDF, the text in the middle column is getting overlapped by the images in that last column OR the text in the middle column is running under the images. I'm not sure.

Help!

Is there a way to get color in the TOC for PDF output? I would like a colored box before the chapter number. That color will correspond with a tab.

Hi! I'm using PDF output. I'm trying to get the registered trademark (R) superscript in my TOC (and cross references). Some of my heading have the (R) superscript but when the TOC and cross references build, it's not superscript. (Maybe helpful info: The text with the superscript (R) is a snippet th...

This fixed my issue, too! thank you!

Thank you! That worked!!!

Hi! Am I able to do something that doesn't break a table's rows across two pages? Am I also able to repeat table headers if the table goes to another page?

Thanks!

Hi! How do I get the TOC to reflect the page number I have throughout my manual. In the manual it's chapter number - page number (like, 2-4), but I can't get it to do that in the TOC. I come close, but the number don't align and everything starts with 1!
Thanks!!

Thank you! I will try this!

I'd like each section of my manual to have a color so it's easier to find (the sides of the pages would be a color). With that, I'd like the the colors to be reflected in the TOC. So, each heading 1 would have a color next to it or as the background to the text (whatever way works) in the TOC. Anyon...
