Re: Add Button in HTML5; click to URL
Answered part of my own question ... Looks like the click needs a bit of java script ... I entered window.location.href = 'url'; And the button works. If there are alternatives, please let me know. Still would like to know how to set the UI Text to go with the buttons. Any thoughts? Regards, Bruce

Add Button in HTML5; click to URL
Simple question for the HTML5 Skin!! I've created two buttons that I want to go to a URL when clicked. I add the button and the URL to the click location in the properties and the button does not work. Is there any information about what to put into the Click property to go to a URL using an HTML 5 ...

Re: Table Style col width different in Word and PDF
Hi, I have not confirmed yet if this has been fixed in 8.0 I regret to report that the behavior you describe--where column widths defined a a percent of the table width are not respected in the Word output from Flare--is due to a bug in Flare. I have submitted a bug report on your behalf (#46165) wi...

Re: Project Documentation in Flare?

Re: Project Documentation in Flare?
I have taken a look at DSDM Atern from a documentation point of view and it does fit nicely in Flare. Documents can be produced if necessary (PDF or Word) or they just end up as sections on the TOC. (with a number of common snippets underneath) ... in webhelp or CHM. I have been working with an orga...

Output EMF to printer.
I am using EMF images to output to the print Targets to retain high quality printing or PDF images. Given the EMF is scalable, the size is not important when printing; however, I'd like the picture to use the available space. In the Edit Picture, function there is a 'Size' and a 'Print Size'. The EM...

I have a TOC setup for printing a portion of a WebHelp project. I am using two PageLayouts ... one is portrait and one is landscape. In the topics I use 3 TableStyles where columns have % col widths. The table styles all keep the % widths when the target is a PDF. When the Target is Word, the % widt...

Re: Compiling DotNetHelp into a single file
Hi,
I understand 'network share'. This approach is definitely better than installing all htm files on every PC. I seem to recall that Help3 may have been able to get files from a web server.
I guess I stick to a CHM until a better solution comes along!!!
Many thanks,
Bruce

Re: Compiling DotNetHelp into a single file
Re: DotNetHelp? The DotNetHelp has a single, standalone viewer like CHM, but multiple files like WebHelp. And unlike CHM, it can be viewed over a network. And like CHM it needs a dedicated viewer -- it's just that CHM's viewer is installed with Windows and DotNetHelp's viewer has to be downloaded by...

FileName ... Image with lots of numbers
Hi,
I don't seem to be able to change the default capture file name used by Capture. I've looked at the Profiles and other information..
The default is like:
Image123456789123456789.... and a lot more ...
How do I reset the numbers or change the default save file name?
Regards, Bruce

Re: Link to amazon book reference?
Hi Greg,
Many thanks ... I think I've answered my own question ...
To be XHTML compatible I need to replace the "&" with "&"
So the 'ampersand' must be an 'XHTML compliant ampersand".

Hi,
I have similar problems. I've experienced problems after renaming folders, changing styles, and a strange database error causing 3 broken links. These have all been reported.
(all at the time I'm doing a major update to a help system).
