Re: Using alternate variable definitions
Yes, if the content is inside a snippet, you can specify the variable definition to use within that snippet - called a "snippet variable". I briefly mentioned this in your other post - https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33979&p=145306#p145295 - so, variable def...

Using alternate variable definitions
I have multiple definitions on my global variables list for different variables such as "product names" Is it possible to define which definition on the drop down to use if I want to talk about two different products? So say I am on Product A's target and want to draw a comparison to Produ...

Re: Create different output from single target
If I understand you correctly, you should be able to do this by setting the definitions in the variable file rather than in the target. You can add multiple alternative definitions and then in the target select which one you want to use - that would allow you to select the same definition in multip...

Re: Create different output from single target
I am using the variables but essentially I want all the variable information from one target to be used in another. I think I will just need to use more than one set of variables to be able to accomplish what I am looking at doing and having a variable set for each product.

I have a bunch of product user manuals as targets in a project. I now want to generate datasheets for each user manual using the variables from each target.

Ignore tables
I am translating a bunch of user manuals. Within these manuals, I have tables which are code and I do not want them translated. Is there any way to not let these tables be translated and leave them in English without having to manually select each part of what is in the code tables and just not tran...

Re: Background image in page layout
perfect this worked for me thank yourobdocsmith wrote:2. Use a decoration frame instead - either add content to the decoration frame using F2, or right click the frame and select a background image for that frame. You'll then be able to position the frame (and also image) wherever you want in the page layout.

Background image in page layout
Afternoon,
I have a background image on a page layout, i would like to move the background image a bit lower on the page but cannot see how this can be done.
Also i would like to manipulate the image to be across the whole page but can't seem to find the setting to resize the image either.
