I am not into CSS.

Is there a way through the user interface (i.e. existing buttons) in a bullet list to indent to a second level where the bullet and the text both indent? When I hit the indent a second time the text moves to the right but the bullet stays aligned to the left.

I know this is an old thread, but I have this same issue with PDF output.

I see the solution from techwriter31, but I am a long time Flare novice.

How do you use the code solution of:

img
{
max-width: 6.50in;
}

I ask as I have a default.css and when I open it up in the Stylesheet editor it ...

Thanks for the additional info.

I downloaded the skin, then dug into it to find and only import the skin and not the template. Initially I changed the color under Main Page / Background but nothing happened. I then removed the Image and bang the colors took effect. So I went back to the original ...

Thank you for the detailed response.

I was just trying to follow your initial recommendation but apparently was in the wrong area trying to create the div.indent.

A simple - push a button - like a word processor is more than sufficient for my needs, hence the initial question and why i switch to a ...

I was just trying to get the top bar of the html5 skin to change from brown to green.

I'll take a look at the link you provided.

Thanks!

I would like to change the HTML5 skin to a green color.

I have looked over the various Styles of the skin several times, played with several, but cannot seem to find the correct entries to alter the color.

Many fields are set to transparent, but I cannot seem to find the 'key' field to get most of ...

Thank you for the recommendation.

I have never created a style (I just use buttons on the ribbon for formatting).

I selected Create Style but a name is not allowed to have a period (I entered div.indent).

Could you provide a few more detailed steps?

From time-to-time I need to indent a few lines of text to simulate how text comments would appear in a configuration file. For example:

== TCP/IP process and port
== the server listens
TCPIP-LISTEN $ZTC0 * 2010

What I have been doing is switching to a fixed font, Courier New, and then using ...

I just noticed today that running a WebHelp output under IE 10 that clicking on the Table of Contents accumulates highlights. A sample image is attached.

Normally, when you click on a different item within the Table of Contents a highlight only shows on the last item clicked. Under IE10 the ...

Thanks much for the tips.

I'll double check that nothing is selected and try moving the cursor to various spots within the text the next time Outdent does not work. It has happended enough times that I really suspect a problem with the editor.

I only use the BlockQuote, remember I am simple minded ...

thank you for the comments.

why is outdent sometimes, many times for me, grayed out, when I am in an indented state (that was one of the reasons for asking the question in the original post)?

Whenever I push the "Indent items" I am presented with four choices of Blockquote, div, fieldset and form.

I have read the descriptions in the Flare help and realize if all i want to do is "indent", I don't want the 'form' option.

As a standard response, I just push OK and select a blockquote and ...

I inserted a simple table, 2 colums and 12 rows into a topic.

How do you indent a table?

I can left, right or center it, but I can't seem to select anything that allows the indent button to come live.

Just received word, reply to a problem report, that this problem is corrected.

Have Flare check for updates. V4.1 SP1 (or is shows up as 4.1.30 in Help / About) has the fixes.

I have a project that took 8 minutes to build and now takes 1 1/2 minutes with no "Bitmap" or "out of memory" errors ...

Well, problem appears to be worse in V 4.1.

Spell checking was fixed (when running under Vista 64-bit), but now PDF is even harder to generate.

Is fixed in Flare V 4.1.

Hi Richard -

Thanks for the answer.

Is this a Flare V5 type of fix, like I should fall back to Flare V3.1 or perhaps to a 32-bit O/S while waiting for the next major upgrade?

Thanks for the update.

I submitted a reproduce-able case to support but they could not reproduce the problem :) I did mention the long time, 10 minutes in my situation, to directly produce a PDF.

They did say they would pass my files and comments over to developers.

Now, I just discovered ...

User Account Control (UAC) is already off.

I just discovered that Flare spell checking is not working in Version 4.

Neither the automatic spell check nor a manual speel check of the current document is working (i have no red squiggles). I had just installed Flare on a new Vista 64 bit system and checked my whole document and should have ...

You might want to check the size of your Windows Paging file (i.e. Virtual Memory).

During PDF generation, Flare takes about 1.4 Gigabytes for my build.

I suspect this amount is dependant on the size of the document.

I have a Windows XP 32-bit and just constructed a Vista 64-bit, both quad core and both experiencing the "Bitmap region is locked" when generating a PDF the second time (i.e. two times in a row). The PDF takes 10 minutes or so to generate, so this is time consuming bug. The new machine has just the ...

Hi GW -

I have also ran into this problem. If I build a PDF twice, using the new direct capability, the second occurence encounters this error.

I submitted a problem to Madcap support, and a test case, but they have not been able to reproduce the problem.

By chance, is your PC multi-core? I have ...

Well, I found the answer.

In the Properties for the PDF Target, under Printed Output, the option "Use TOC for heading levels" must be checked.

How can I get Bookmarks in the new direct PDF output of Flare V4 to match my Table of Contents?

I currently have a few nested bookmarks, but they appear to be directly related to headings H1 and H4 (which are pretty much all I use to get Bolded headings of various sizes). H1 are all at the first ...
