Re: Flare still publishing TOC entry despite condition tags
Make sure you're excluding the appropriate condition tags from the right target too. Sometimes I forget that step or do it in the wrong target.

Re: How to copy a .pdf document into a Topic
This would be an Adobe issue, not a Flare issue. However, i think the way you are doing it (each page) is the only way. Do you have access to the PDF source document (word?)? if so, you would be able to import that into Flare. http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare8/Default.htm#Projects_Starting/Cr...

Re: Page layout header frame not working in MSWord
It could just be that Word doesn't support the background color in header frames, especially since Word doesn't support image or decoration frames.

Re: Student tech writer new to MadCap-New project best practices
are you working on a local copy of your files or through a network? local is faster, by the way, especially once you get a lot of topics.
i had a problem years ago with the 'failure/shout down' issue when i was copying and pasting tables into flare, but i think that issue was fixed.

Re: Need help with page layout frames
Is your decoration frame big enough to fit your text? also, if there is an arrow connecting the two frames, the text will overflow from the first to the second. do you want them to be connected like that? maybe there isn't enough text in the first frame to overflow into the second, so nothing is sho...

Re: Page Layout not being assigned to topic
Do you have a title layout in the CoverPDF page layout? maybe you set the TOC to reference Title when it actually should be First, or something like that. That error message tends to come when you've referenced something that isn't available to use. have you tried just adding a Title layout to an ex...

Re: Table borders displaying inconsistently in PDF
have you tried adjusting the magnification in the PDF? (sorry if someone already mentioned that) PDF docs are weird sometimes and magnifications significantly change fonts or line widths.

the default is whatever you have set in the default/master target. to change the default, change your master topic (right-click on a target name to make it the master)
