Is there a string of xml that I can use to force my webhelp to open in a new Browser Window?
If there is a string, where do i put it; in the target file with notepad?

Thank you. I think you are probably right. I'll have to try to work around it until I get home next weekend.

Thank you, no. It is all in hieroglyphics. Wordpad, Notepad, XML. None worked.

Lisa, Thank you.

The project still resides on the server. However, because the server is in STL and I am in Charleston, SC, (using a hotel connection) when starting FLare and attempting to open the original project, it hangs. More precisely, Flare never fully opens and with the first click of a ...

I typically have my projects located on a servers for others to access.

I sent a file for review and received it back and held it in my inbox. Then I copied the entire project to my hard drive so that I can work while traveling. I cannot move the returned review back into the project. (I ...

That was one of the early on things to try. I must still have something, a column maybe, that is set to avoid.

I'll have to make it right but for now I have to move on, deadlines you know...

Thanx for the input!

I broke the table where it should break across the pages and it shows up now. I am still a rookie at table styles and because of past experience I try to avoid them. I will have to carve out time if this type of documentation continues.

Thanx

The only style in my table tag is width:100%. So I experimented. I made the columns fixed width wondering if the PDF engine is freaking out on Auto Width. No.

Here's what I don't get...When I am in Print Layout mode, the table doesn't show up either. However, when I compile to Word, it shows up. It ...

I have several tables in my project. they work fine in all formats (including webhelp, word and pdf). Except for one table and it does't show up in PDF. Instead I get a couple of blank pages. The table is 35 rows long and would take a couple of pages.

I have checked all applied styles and have ...

"stupid user" is a term I picked up at a contract job. The testers had to ensure they thought of and recreated all 'stupid user' stunts. Anything they might click on had to be tested.

Obviously I clicked on something, some time ago, and forgot about the feature.

Loose nut...

That was it. Stupid User issue.

Thank you for your help.

I am attempting to map an image. When I right click on 'Image Map', the tool opens but the image doesn't show up. I can open previously mapped images and no images. Anyone have any ideas? There's no way this is a bug.

I just figured out how to look at the SME's annotations using X-edit on my box.

Thanks anyway.

Two days ago I sent files to the SME for technical review. Then, our documentation group leader reordered our Content file system. The two files I sent to the SME are no longer at the same path. When I try to "Import Reviewed Topic" I get an error that says the original file no longer exists. The ...

An update.

When in the table side bar, I noticed a caption setting there as well. That one was set to 'above'. I changed it to below. Even my code shows 'below' or bottom, but when I use the 'Preview Compiled Topics' button the captions are above the table.

My table is doing the exact same thing and I do not have any applied style.

<table style="caption-side: bottom;margin-left: 0;margin-right: auto;">
<col />
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/dots_300_1920x1080right copy.jpg" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<caption style="font ...

I just created my first project template. I have to agree that having to locate the template on my local drive is a bit inconvenient but for the short term, rarely will it be used by others.

My problem is that when I start a new project and have the opportunity to choose something from my templates ...

I do not know what was controlling my table but I created a class in my css that is controlling the table and my issue is apparently solved.

I've followed the instructions in the previous series but my question, is there any way to control the width of the columns?

Also, the entire collection has a padding or something to the left of it causing the logo on the right end to hang off. I cannot find this in the code. Do you know where I ...

I submitted my error. Thank you for the help. I will take a look at Lisa's notes again and work around the issue.

I found the stylesheet, which one is it though? I'm looking.

It is listed after my topic stylesheet, but it is listed as Skin/Support. I'm not finding it in the output of my project.

<link href="../../../../Resources/Stylesheets/MSSHelp.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="../../../../SkinSupport/MadCap.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Are you onto something?

I tried going at this from 3 angles and have nothing positive to report. MadCap|Related topics, helpControlMenuItem, helpControlMenu, and conceptLink did not change anything. I was hopeful for a moment. The link is white when you hover over it and within the MadCap|helpControlMenuLink there was a ...

I was thinking I cannot do that with this type of link, however, you have given me a couple of ideas that I will try today. I will post my steps and results.

Thank you for the sounding board idea.

I realized the css I am using only effects the words "See Also" within the text of the page. What I need to change is the text of the 'menu' that pops up. I don't even see anything like that on my css. What controls the little menu thingy?
