That's a great help, thanks.

Thanks Pete!

I'll try that out.

Thanks Pete,

Do you mean I should modify the .hhk file externally and link to bookmarks in the topics?

Susan

Thanks for spending time helping me out.
I have submitted a bug report although I have not ruled out that there is maybe something I have missed out.
Time will tell...

I have created keywords all the down a long topic. When I click on any of the keywords in the published HTML Help, the topic is opened up at the top of the page. The page does not jump down to the relevant keyword within the topic.
There is also no highlighted text in the topic.

Ooops - I don't ...

Hi all,

I have created an index by placing index keywords before text in a topic by clicking Ctrl-U. The Index keywords are then shown in a green box in front of the text.
When I publish my HTML output, any words I select from the Index do not jump to the places in the text where the Index keyword ...

Oh great! When's Flare v4 being released?

Susan

Ok. Thanks.

Hi,

Has anyone created a custom-sized paperback manual (book) with Flare? I am using Flare to create my application help and I have not yet created any printed output with the MadCap Suite. In the past I used RoboHelp to produce WebHelp and Adobe InDesign to create a paperback custom-sized manual ...

Thanks.
I'll try an import project and start a mini-one from scratch to compare.

Hi,

I am about to migrate a project created in RoboHelp over to Flare. I am not going to import the RoboHelp project file because the structure is so different from the Flare project structure (which I like).
So what do I do? Do I recreate all the content I have in Flare or is there another way of ...

Sorry, I am new to Flare and am not yet familiar with all of the terms!
It is html help I am outputting and I called it viewer because I don't know what it's called!

Thanks for all your help.

Susan

Ok, thanks for that Kevin.

I noticed in my published html output that one of my topics did not have the breadcrumbs that were applied to the master page - and I worked it out - this topic had not been added to the TOC.
To display this topic in the primary target viewer I was doing a search for the ...

Hi all,

How can I tell what master page (if any) is applied to a topic. I had to publish my output to see whether I had the master page applied to the topic. I thought it might be in the topic properties but no sign.
Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks

Susan

Once I publish my project to a destination on a server on my network the files will not view. In the destination folder there is the compiled help file and an archive called catapult.log. When I double click to view the application help file I cannot see any of the pages "Navigation to the webpage ...

Yes that worked - I restored the layout to default factory settings.
Thanks.
I don't understand how my stylesheet has lots of classes, but now I want to apply the style to some text, the H1 is not there to select in the Style window. There are only a few styles to choose from (p, tip etc but not my ...

I want to use the Styles window. I can see the styles field in the text formatting toolbar (there is very little listed - unlike the actual stylesheet itself). However when I hit F12 or V iew/Style window nothing happens. Where is it? I don't know what to look for because I don't know what the Style ...

Hi,
What is the best way to ensure my logo appears on every topic in both printed and online help? Do I use a template or master page for example and how do I specify the different images for print and online?

I also want to have a transparent background image (under topic text) on printed output ...

Thanks!

Thanks very much, Pete.
We'll have a look.

After discussion with the developer we decided that HTML Help would be our best option. We are trying to understand, however, how calling CSH from the compiled (.CHM) HTMLHelp file will work. Can anyone describe how this works?

Thanks.
Susan
