My laptop was recently updated to Windows 11 and I don't think I have seen the "Build Failed" message since, so some good news!

In my PDF output, I need to indicate changes with a change bar and formatted text. The formatted text is easy and the change bar would be fairly straightforward if all content was positioned the same. Here is an example of the type of change I need to call out, the text added in the second column of...

Tab didn't work for me.
Thanks for the input, though.

Resurrecting this thread as I have seen similar behavior. Usually when the rows disappear, if I switch to Text Editor and then back to XML Editor the rows reappear. This is not always the case, however, and I have sent my project to MadCap Support but they have not found a solution. I can confirm Ch...

Nita, that's a good observation and I did think about it at first, so I paused OneDrive syncing and when that didn't work, I moved the project completely out of the OneDrive folder into C:/Flare Projects. That didn't help either.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll give them a try and report back.

Why does this paragraph look like this in PDF preview: Preview.png but like this in the actual PDF, with the background image much larger than it is supposed to be: PDF Output.png Here is the relevant (I think) section of the stylesheet. I write the note and then apply the NotesIcon class to the par...

Every other time or so when I try to build PDF output, I get the dreaded "Build Failed" message, because some file or folder in the Output folder is being used by some unknown process. I know it's not Acrobat because I placed some taskkill commands in the target's Pre-Build Event Command w...

For anyone who tries Psider's suggestion for entering the character code, use Alt-X, not Ctrl-X.

Thanks for the input, but it's not a matter of the window being hidden off screen somewhere, it's that the window just doesn't work. Normally, in the Taskbar you can see a snapshot of the window that shows the contents, as in the attached screen shot, and when you select the preview, that window bec...

Am I the only one who sees this? I click on Code Snippet on the Insert ribbon and and all I can see is that there is a new widow opened in the Task bar, behind the Flare icon. But that new window doesn't open when selected from the Task bar. I can't do anything in Flare until I close the Code Snippe...

Snippet conditions are awesome. Once I figure out how to make a table a snippet, I'll probably go that route.
Thanks again.

[Apparently one just creates a snippet and then pastes in the table. Easy.]

Thanks for the input from both of you (and rob, your second option is what I'm trying to do), much appreciated.
How do I make individual table rows or the whole table into a snippet? Whenever I select either a row or the whole table, the Create Snippet option on the ribbon becomes inactive.

I've inherited a PDF-output project. One of the topics has a long table that contains information about Product A, Product B, and Product C. I would like the output to look something like this: Chapter 1: Stuff Chapter 2: More stuff Chapter 3: Product A table Chapter 4: Product B table Chapter 5: Pr...

I've been using a new installation of Flare 2022 r3 for about three weeks now. Over the last few days, actions in the XML Editor window have slowed to a crawl. For example, I double-click a word, hit the delete button and it literally takes 10 seconds for anything to happen. This, obviously, makes d...
