Using chm files and runtime merging

If you use runtime merging of chm files, beware of this problem introduced by Flare V8. When a search term is used in the FTS edit box of the "Master" chm, and the search is invoked , each topic found is listed twice in the results window if the term is found in a merged chm file and there are any ...

Limit Differences

Does anyone know if it is possible with Lingo to force it to ignore 'Tag Changed" diffs when creating a Diffs project (update project) and show only files with "Content Changed"?

Previous Next buttons inconsistent

We have built a WebHelpPlus output which includes Previous/Next buttons based on the TOC (no browse sequence). When we access the default.htm directly from the www\root\webfolder in a browser the previous/next buttons operate consistently. When we access it using Localhost or the machine IP there is ...

Re: "Search" function error in HTMLHelp

Change name of mcpreview

If I change the name of the name of mcpreview once Flare has copied it to IIS I get a blank TOC. Anyone know why this happens, as everything else is identical. Same goes if I just copy unviewed output from the Flare Output folder to IIS.

Re: Target Build Fails When Project Resides On A Network

Panda, the reason u cant view the chm correctly on a network is coz of an IE security restriction. You can change a registry setting which will allow it to work.
The registry change is :

Re: printed output table style

Seems that this is a limitation in Flare of not allowing the use of a custom named print medium to veride a table stylesheet. If you call your print medium "Print" it will work OK. madcap are putting an enhacement request to cover it in a future release.

printed output table style

When generating directly to PDF output and using a tables stylsheet, any option to select a table style for printed output is not applied to the table. This works fine when generating to Framemaker. Anyone had this problem?
