Hi,

I am making images in my HTML Help output thumbnails with Mouse Over, but when I generate the help and hover over the thumbnail image, the full size images are aligning to the left side of the help window behind the navigation pane (I've attached a screenshot) if the window isn't maximized. Is ...

That didn't seem to the problem. It is ignoring that setting in the stylesheet for some reason.

When you initially created the table, did you set it to be centered? If so, Flare inserts inline styles on the table tag that have margin: 0 auto; -- the auto is what tells it to center the table. Open the topic in the Internal Text Editor and remove the margin: 0 auto; from the table tag -- your ...

Hi, Ashley,

Your MJ's Help Report looks good to me; there's nothing in it to indicate why you are generating corrupt .chm files.

Can you successfully compile a .chm file with HTML Help Workshop (C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\hhw.exe)? If you can, this may suggest that your Flare ...

I had a coworker check and see if she could open one of the .chms I generated, and she got the same 'not enough memory' message. She has not installed the latest Microsoft updates, so I can rule out that as the cause. She checked her computer memory, and she has plenty to spare as well, so that ...

Hi, Ashley,

It may be worth running MJ's Help Diagnostics to verify that all the HTML Help compiler components are properly installed on your computer. You can download this utility from here:

Perhaps you can attach the report generated by MJ's Help ...

I didn't figure out the problem, but I did find a fix. I marked each image in word as a lower level heading - the images were marked as body text, but Flare was creating new topics every time there was an image. so when I made this change, the import came in smoothly. It was a weird situation, but ...

Which version of Flare are you running? Does it happen with all CHMs that Flare creates, or is it just this project? Can you re-create the problem in a sample project?

I'm running 4.2.1. It is happening with every .chm Flare creates. I have tried it in all existing projects, and I created a test ...

I can't open .chms generated by Flare. I get a 'There is not enough memory available for this task' message. However, my system does have the memory, and Flare and Outlook are the only programs I have opened. The .chms won't open from Flare either - e.g. I click View Output after I build it in the ...

When I insert a table in a topic, the left margin is not being applied. It is supposed to be indented at 10px, but instead it is being inserted at 0px. I opened my topic in the internal editor, and it says left margin: 10px in the code. I also have gone through my tablestylesheet and it has left ...

When I import a Word doc in Flare, it is ignoring the New Topic Styles I select, which should be Heading 1's in Word. Instead, it is creating a new topic every time there is an image in the Word doc. I've gone through the Word doc and made sure I have every thing marked as the correct style, and I ...

I had this problem too. I noticed when I adjusted the different windows such as the content explorer and styles windows that the text would reappear. And then when I readjusted a window, it would disappear again. I closed Flare and rebooted my computer. I haven't had any trouble since.

Yes by 'body' I meant a 'p' tag - for our body text style.

I think my problem is because of Acrobat. It hasn't been playing nicely with my other programs either.

I'm pasting it as simple text. And i'm applying a body tag to it, so nothing fancy. That's why I am stumped.

When I try to paste text into a topic, the paste text prompt window takes several minutes to paste it into my document (ranges between 5-10 minutes, but I am currently trying to paste something and it has been 33 minutes thus far). I'm not pasting a large chunk of content usually 1-3 sentences , and ...
