Hello, I am using my webhelp primarily on an intranet, and in our intranet, we have many source pages that contain master information (i.e. contact details which change frequently and updated frequently at source) and I can link to this topic using a regular hyperlink, but can I also create a TOC ...

Great thanks...problem solved.

Cool thanks for the great tip...

Hi, actually it seems that my problem was I had a padding set on the img tag, and there is that 13x13 closebutton.gif img in that tag... So, after correcting that, then it worked. On base img tag, I use no padding and only on custom img style tag I now put my padding if necessary.

Also, I decided ...

Hi, I am having some issue with the helpMenuControl popup window in the webhelp. I want to use the concept link help control, but when I do an export, I have something like this below:

window_popup.gif

Where can I set this style for the help control pop up window? I tried to adjust the vertical ...

Hi, creating a macro is a good idea for a temporary workaround... I will do that !

Anyway, no worries... I figure it out manually with word for now... it is not an earth shattering issue... Otherwise I have no issues...

Yes, pdf may be an option, but I need to produce word documents as templates for other companies to input information in tables... so I have this big set of conditions to generate content for different companies, but unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to make flare put fillable form fields in ...

Hello, I did that, saved the xml file as a .doc file and then sent it to a colleague. He opened it and no pictures... I open that .doc file and there are pictures... in order to save pictures to the word document, I have to go in to each individual word document I create and edit links --> save ...

Hi, I have seen on the forum, that pictures are not embedded to word output, that you have to go into word document after publish and select alll and then edit links and save pics to document.

This is annoying when I have lots of word documents to publish, is there any workaround that allow me to ...

Hi, actually there are valid reasons why to use GIF instead of PNG...i agree to use PNG wherever possible, but in one case, I have a Lotus Groupware application which I use capture to create screenshots and then post online in an intranet site managed by Groupware, and the Groupware application does ...

Hi, I capture and resize the image, then save and then add the text at normal resolution against the smaller already resized image. This way the text is readable on resized image.

ok, I removed ALL java runtimes, jdk, everything... deleted all files, directories everything. I reinstalled the JVM runtime from Sun version 1.6.0_07-b06 and all projects, even the ones I had problems with before with different content not created in flare works... it seems older versions of jvm ...

Well, now it seems that the very same project I could get to compile to AIR format, now with no changes will not compile anymore successfully. I am uninstalling all my JVM and reinstall and see what happens... will keep posting

Hi, ok, thanks, I will play around with it have a nice day !

Ok, thanks for the help, I will go check this out... One more question... Is it possible, do you know, to create conditional tags and apply them to templates, so that when I create a new topic based on a template, that the new content will take on these conditional tags by default...so that I only ...

hi, so just so I understand, does the same marking of content using conditonal tags also work for images and other resources?

So if I just mark certain folders (all folders except the folders of content I want) to be excluded, then none of those folders or the content in those folders will be ...

Hi, I have a project with a whole bunch of pages etc in many different folders. In this project I have many TOCs for different kinds of outputs, so basically I have one big project with many different topics covering many different categories of information.

My question is, when I build help (for ...

Hi, I should also clarify, I actually have multiple JVMs installed also on my machine, I just happened to remove the OLDEST of these and then it worked. I am not exactly sure what the version requirements are for the JVM though... But it works for me now, I am not going to touch it

Hi, case solved. I had two versions of java installed on my system, java 1.4.6 and also Java 6 update 7 and once I removed the older java version through uninstall, the air compilation went through just fine.

Thanks Richard for your suggestions.

Thanks, I will do that... have to use that support package I bought some time:) Just for kicks, here is the output on the generation of webhelp air from the sample project:

Removing previously generated content...
Checking if auto-sync of any import file is needed...
Loading skin info...
Copying ...

Hi, yes it happens right at the end...I think I have no other imported HTML files, only html files made in the editor... I get no message telling why it failed in the log, just that it did fail.

Are there certain file types like flash files or audio files created with madcap audio capture or madcap ...

Hello, I am using madcape flare 4.0, and I have been trying to generate an adobe air webhelp file, but I cannot seem to be able to do this. I have installed both the Java SE kit and the Adobe Air 1.1 installation, and I can run Air files, but when I go to generate my own, I always get the message ...
