How do I replace the "madcap" text at the top and the MadCap logo at the bottom of the WebHelp Mobile target output with my company's name and logo? Delivering Help with the MadCap branding is not acceptable to my company. I did just submit a defect to technical support about this issue.

I'd like Flare 6 to include fixes for launching WebHelp from Apache web servers in IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

I'm having a similar issue trying to get a background image from a page layout to appear on the title page in my Word output. The topic text appears, but no background image. I've submitted a defect to MadCap.

Another option might be a single project that contains all topics. Create a separate TOC for each child and link the child TOCs into a parent TOC if necessary. This way you can build the child outputs individually or use the parent TOC to bulld all at once. You can also share topics, stylesheets ...

I have a requirement to deliver Word versions of 11 Quick Reference Guides to an internal team, PDF versions of the same documents for posting on our Support site, and a WebHelp system with the product. I'm using Flare as my source. I've got the WebHelp system set up and the Flare to Word process ...

I tried to get the Subversion plugin from pushok, but it was way too confusing to get it going. I tried to work directly from subversion, but kept hitting issues. For now, I'm just copying and pasting my source files into subversion. I can publish directly to subversion and then commit in subversion ...

Can someone please tell me where to get the Perforce plugin for MadCap Flare? I'm using Perforce P4Win 2007.3 and Flare 3.1.
