I installed the Kindle reader. I also installed the EPUB reader extension for Firefox.

When I open the EPUB target for my project and click on View, nothing happens. Nothing at all. Suggestions?

Just as for viewing a PDF one must have a PDF reader installed on one's computer, in order to view ePub output, you'll need to have an ePub viewer installed on your computer. I'm guessing that a Google search will help you find some free or open source readers. Read more here: http://help.madcapsof...

I'm an EPUB newbie. How do I open and view EPUB output?

Many thanks! I appreciate your help.

Someone wants to edit the stylesheet for one of my project. I sent it to him. He says the one I sent, the only one I use for that project, is the web version. How he can tell, I don't know. How can I send him the PDF version of the stylesheet? I need to send him the version that is used for "Pr...

The company web designer. I am now collaborating with him.

Can you provide a little bit more information? The obvious answer is source control, but given it is obvious I'm guessing you are working in an unusual arrangement. I am now working, collaborating, with our web designer. Our web/marketing/user guides are to look more uniform in style across the com...

A stylesheet is just a .css file, so you can send it all by its lonesome to anyone you care to. If we knew a little more what your intentions are, we could give you more detailed advice. Are you trying to share it with another Flare user to use in a different project? Are you trying to share it wit...

My new collaborator. Someone in the same department with whom I am now working.

Things became unsual recently.

Can you use Contributor if you have Windows 7 but your collaborator has a Mac?

What is Contributor actually used for?

If it is possible to collaborate on a project, to share a project I wrote with someone else, how would I do it?

Is there a version of Flare for Mac?

If it is possible to share a stylesheet, how would I do it?

Wow. Putting the onus smack dab on the users. That's not cool.

Many thanks, Ramon!

You are right! I would have expected that the installer package includes both versions just to prevent exactly the scenario you described. I can only speculate that based on the information that MadCap has about client systems the number of 32 bit systems is small. Nevertheless, I'm sure it wouldn'...

I'd assume that the installer contains the executables for both 32 and 64 bit. I'm installing V12 as I type and started it up. Shows as 64 bit app on my system, but that is a 64 bit Win 8.1 box. Unless you want to just go for it on 32 bit I can spin up a VM and try it out, let me know if that would...

RamonS wrote:Yes, Flare 12 is labeled as 64 bit.

What should those of us do who are using 32-bit systems?

Has MadCap moved to 64-bit apps?

Do any MadCap applications use Microsoft Visual C++?

Trying to figure out why all these Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable apps are on my desktop.

Thanks, RamonS! Does MadCap use any of the Microsoft Visual C++ applications?

Are you running low on drive space? If not, I'd suggest turning only the SQL Services off and leaving the stuff in place. That will make it easier to get it back in case on app needs it. If you want to uninstall, then pick "Microsoft SQL Server 2012" first. That should be the big fat gori...
