Powertoys also has an OCR image capture tool; you can take a screenshot of a page of text (such as a protected web page) and save it as text.

According to Google it is a script related to search capabilities.

Modern antimalware usually detects these things. If you want to check, find the file and scan it manually.

You can also delete it (or better yet, rename it) and see if you lose some functionality.

You could put a condition on what you want to include and create a new target that only uses that condition.

Snagit has batch processing capabilities. You can select images in File Explorer, right click and select Snagit -> Batch convert images . You can also select a folder and Snagit will identify images it can process, including those in sub-folders. In step 2 of the batch export dialog select Image Sca...

...really old versions of Dreamweaver had a command to clean up Word imports...

Couple of things I'd try:

Saving the Word document as rich text before importing.

Opening the document in Wordpad.

That might clean up the content without losing too much.

I'd definitely look at removing unwanted returns in case that is causing the unwanted lists.

...My advice is to go through the doc and remove manual formatting where you can, remove all double carriage returns, and <space>carriage returns... Absolutely. Do as much as possible within Word before importing. If you do it often, create a Word Macro to do it for you. I'd suggest removing multip...

You can cut and paste Word content into notepad, notepad++, etc, then cut and paste from the text editor into Flare to remove much of Word's "baggage".

New computer? New monitor as well? Tiling is a CSS attribute, so make sure the image is not set to tile. Also, look at monitor resolution; things look smaller on a large-resolution monitor. Also, make sure scaling is set to 100%, not higher (to make things look bigger), because that is known to caus...

The first thing you must realise is that autonumbering within Flare only works for an open topic, but within an output, it should work seamlessly across the whole project, depending on where you reset the counter. For example, if you have a global reset, the numbers should increment through the whol...

I recently installed Microsoft's PowerToys. One of its utilities is "What's using this file?" which allows you to see what application or process has locked a file or folder. Very handy in situations like this. Outlook has always been notorious for locking files. Some PDF readers do it, an...

It is incredible how much can be resolved by pasting content into Notepad or Notepad++ and recopying it before pasting it somewhere else (even back into Word).

Are you using 100% scale or something like 150% or 200% (common on high resolution monitors)?

I think you're missing the point of variables, or at least how I use them. I tend to think of a variable as a project-wide value that remains constant in a project but has a different value in a similar project. Take your torque figure example where you are trying to insert a changeable value into a...

This is a peer-to-peer forum, although Madcap folk drop in from time to time.

Anyone who contributes does so willingly and voluntarily. If people don't have an answer, they won't spend time writing a response.

Welcome back

You don't understand my question? It sounded pretty straightforward, and it sounds like you did understand it, since you responded. :? None of those options worked. I'll have to open a ticket. Thanks! Pull your head in, mate. Everyone gives their time freely and does their best to help others. If t...

No matter your religious beliefs, most religions have a major festival around the winter (in the northern hemisphere) solstice. With that in mind, I would like to wish all forums a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Peace and goodwill to all forum members and their families.

I think you will find that is a browser setting. Under print options, it will have a check box for headers and footers. Unfortunately, I don't think you can control that for users.

Welcome to the forums...

Yes. Flare 2022 will install alongside the 2021 version, leaving both versions available. The full install for 2022R2 does not need the first release.

As always, back up everything before downloading and installing.

Both are good points. In this project, I followed Madcap's template structure and just changed names. The topics must appear in a certain order irrespective of where they are used. I could create a large topic for each section, leading to long web pages (something I didn't want). Usually, however, I...

Ah. I see more clearly now.

What I do if I want to keep files in a certain order within a folder, I start with a number in the filename depicting order:

You can drag and drop files in the Content Explorer window. Flare will offer to update links, if any. You can also move files outside of Flare using the Window's File Explorer, but links are not updated. If you do that the Check Links command from the Analysis toolbar can be used to find broken link...
