I even tried using the page type "First" instead of "Title". Same result. But...with a hack... Sort of have it working TOC -- TitlePage -- Other Matter -- Contents -- Chapter 1 TitlePage - PageLayoutTP.flpgl - NORMAL page OtherMatter - PageLayoutOM.flpgl - NORMAL page Contents - ...

This is a Word problem because i get the same thing. I just make word docs for editing and make PDFs for final (because it works in PDF). lacastle, thanks. Appears you are having the same problem. Perhaps MadCap will address this. I have even tried, "begin a new section". That doesn't wor...

I have a PDF output that is showing the Title page from the selected Page Layout in the "title" page type, and normal pages n the "normal" page type. Works perfect... However.... The Word Target shows the FrontPageMatter, but it is in the "Normal" layout, not the expect...

Next Impressions... Limitations... The biggest issue right now is Hyperlinks and Cross-Reference. My idea WAS going to be that I would have a project for each book (or "Volume"). Then I was going to hyperlink across my projects. The Good: * My compile time has moved from 45 minutes to 5 mi...

Since there doesn't seem to be a "helper dialog" for entering hyperlinks into merged projecs (this seems like a HUGE OVERSIGHT from Madcap)...I manually entered them. In the hyperlink dialog, I entered ../Subsystems/<output name from target 1>/Content/Index.htm ../Subsystems/<output name f...

Good luck!!

OOOOOh! Yes!!! 2 on two computers actually. Just in case I mess one up.

And, it' my Subversion Revision 303 that contains the "pre split" version.

Second Impressions. It took a few days, but I have finished creating my 20+ individual projects and a master project. Second impressions... Continues to be interesting, and the master project copies ALL projects into the "/project/Subsystems/" folder and the master project is in "/pro...

I have posted this question before in the hopes that someone would give me "the good" and "the bad" about using Flare with multiple projects. I didn't get much response. The responses I got though were helpful. Thank you. Most of the responses were "Never tried it". The...

I'm thinking of writing a TOC manipulator in php. Automatically set the "isnew" tag for any document newer than X days and remove from all others. Since I would have to look at topic file dates on the server (uploaded date?...depending on how the FTP server is configured to handle file dat...

TOC entry -> Mark As New TOC entry -> Default -> Skin Editor -> TOCEntry style -> Mark As New These are the two places to set them. But, how to manage the "New" entries? What is the best way to do it? Is there a per user setting? A cookie or a flag or a date/time stamp where things become ...

Any experiences (good or bad) benefits/drawbacks using multiple projects with v3 and master project/merge. I've never tried it before, I'm afraid of the "Master TOC Creation" and my project is too big to convert unless it's really deemed to be the right way to do it. I'm still bummed by th...

Or...was I mistaken about the shared content thing? Or...is support talking about Version Control System to share content? Still doesn't support subversion or CVS, so, pretty useless (I've tried the "plug-in" that support referred to...I even purchases a 5 seat license...but it doesn't wor...

I have many "books" consisting of 1 project with about 80 to 100 targets for each PDF and each page size (A4 vs Letter vs "book" size) and and 1 target for "Web Production" and 1 target for "Web Staging" each with conditional flags dictating content per target...

thanks for the response. I started with FrameMaker 7 (now on 7.2) and all of our RoboHelp documents were moved to Flare "manually" (cut/paste...style re-apply) with brand new stylesheets. I have not had any problems and with Flare's topic conditions and master pages TOC's or Indexes. (you ...

Well, the interesting thing is it doesn't effect the font colors in the "PROXY" body. So for the table of contents where the page looked like: Contents [ContentsProxy] The "Contents" word was RED and the entire TOC was correctly formatted with correct colors. Also, header and foo...

the topic you refer to speaks of widows/orphans for a paragraph. This is easy. And the author is wrong when he says you can't specify the number of lines for widows/orphans in word. However, I'm not speaking of a paragraph. I'm speaking of a "block of paragraphs" When...the paragraphs are ...

Yes, I remember now. I cannot generate the PDF's as my PC is setup as "English". If you switch your entire PC to "Korean" then you should be able to get FrameMaker to recognize the Korean (as my Japanese folks can do the PDF generation). Check the "Asian Languages Informatio...

I do japanese output. I believe I coded everything to Unicode.

I'll check one more time ( I just got an update yesterday from our Japanese developers )

Perhaps this should be in a generic "printed output" forum...but I'll post here first... What is the best approach for keeping a block of text "together" when going to printed output to avoid (if possible) a page break within the block? <table><tr><td>My Block of text</td></tr></...

Nope. Nothing. Either the Condition Tag is on or off. The entire page will be "Normal" or "Red" (since my conditional tag is red) Update: SOLVED MORE!!!!! My Web Output is all messed up now because I removed the conditional tags. So, I HAD to find this problem. Guess what...found...

also, at the top of the XML editor (topic file editor), select the "Medium: Print" and see what happens to your page visually in the editor. In the "target" file, ensure your "target medium" is selected from <default> to <print> (my suggestion). My font sizes for online...

Or...simply open the dropdown box at the top of the stylesheet editor and select "Medium: Print" then go find your <P> tag.

Is this a Bug!? I had a "condition tag" on the topic file containing the cover page and table of contents. Basically I do not want these topics to be included in the Web output target. Therefore, the Web output target will exclude topics with the tag. The color of my "conditional tag&...

Hi again - [snip] It should be said that Flare outputs reasonable Frame source, but considerable massaging in Framemaker is required to get it into a presentable .pdf deliverable. This process is largely "de rigueur" for me; perhaps others might not appreciate that so much. ;-], =dg= I, t...

I dunno! Since the output is "cleaned" and there is nothing to "change" then this would be an interesting flag that's getting set.

Perhaps a master page error? very stumped
