I like the Table of Contents navigation tab in the left navigational menu and would like to duplicate it so I can have a tab for Instructors and a tab for students. How do I do this?? The out of box functionality for customizing Skins only shows the option to hide/show/rename the navigation tabs ...

I manage and author WebHelp files outside of our source control application, Perforce. Once a Webhelp project is complete, I submit the output files to Perforce. Basically, I check in/out files- that's it.

IF we were to completely manage WebHelp from within Perforce:
--Can you manually update ...

First time I've had this issue: When I complete a WebHelp build, my Welcome page does not display. Yes, I have specified for the Welcome page to display from the Basic tab settings for the Target. Restarted my PC and issue still there. I am running Flare v4.2.0

Thanks, Lisa.

I'm likely the one confused as I'm still in the process of figuring out PDF Outputs in Flare. I was mistaken to think my experience in formatting documents in FrameMaker over the years would provide adequate knowledge transfer to produce the results I want. I'm disappointed that Flare ...

I'd like to import a MiniTOC page layout. Does anyone have a MiniTOC page layout they can send me to try out the page layout import functionality? My preference is to try this functionality out by using a page layout from an outiside source.

-Created a Master page Layout and extended the margins: Did not correct the issue
-Clicked "Print Layout" view to manually change table widths, saved, regenerated PDF Target: Did not correct the issue
-Modified the defined ...

Huh. Ok, thanks! I'll have to play around w/ it a bit and see what I come up with. Thanks for sharing your Flare smarts.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if either solution will serve as a strong selling point but we'll see how the meeting goes. I appreciate the information as I did not find anything about field-to-field help in the Flare Help pages and I wasn't aware of what "work arounds" existed. Much thanks ...

Hello!

The Developer on the project I've been tasked w/ would like to incorporate field-by-field help using his own "tool." Ahh!!!
PLEASE tell me Flare has the ability to produce F1 Help that I can have the Developer integrate w/ the product we are developing. Does FLARE's context sensitive Help ...

We use Perforce as well and I have not encountered problems with submitting files; however, we customized it so that help files are synched to the workspace.
