Is it possible to modify the movie toolbar? Add a time meter? Replay button?

Problem Solved. I fixed this by adding the following code to the URL:


...//website/filepath/webhelpfolder/default_csh.htm#Content_Folder/Topic_Name.htm|sbs_flare_skin



This applies the CSS to the referenced help file at initial launch.

Got it -- thanks!

How do I adjust the text to indent but keep the image with a zero indent?

After performing the workaround to embed images in the Word output file (prepare > edit links > save pictures in doc > update now), all the images appear distorted in the word file.

The images appeared fine prior to the workaround, and the image files were not moved, edited, or re-sized after the ...

I got it to work for PDF (a blank page is created after the TOC, with the TOC header and roman numeral page number in the footer), but in Word output, the blank page contains the header of the next book title and decimal page numbering. Also, the section break is set to Odd page, so the first page ...

Thanks Lisa. This works except the blank page after the TOC appears correctly in PDF , with the TOC header and footer (Contents in header and roman numeral in footer), but in the Word output it has the header and footer of the chapter layout page (Chapter 1 in header and page number in decimal ...

How do I get the first page of the body of the document after the TOC to start on a left (odd) page?

Flare TOC currently looks like this:

Copyright Info

I want the first page in section ...

Yes that was a typo. I have it at #000000.

I had the border set to "solid" -- but just tried as "none" and it still didn't work.

I can't seem to get a border to appear on images in Word.

I set the "img" style border to 1px border #00000 in the CSS, and the border appears in PDF output, but not in Word.

Is there another setting to universally add a border to images in Word output?

(Note: The border also does not appear in ...

Are there any plans to resolve this in a future version of Flare?

In PDF output, index appears as a single column, with entries on the left and page numbers on the right.

is there a way to have the index mimic the default setting in Word -- where the entries are separated from the page numbers by a comma and a space?

Thanks

Anyone know how to set PDF output properties in Flare (e.g., zoom, page layout, etc.)?

When I open them in the PDF they are all grayed out.

Are you using a table stylesheet on the table? If so, every time you build the output (and any time you modify the table stylesheet), Flare redraws that table using the table stylesheet, which in effect strips out the td class you applied to the cell because it's not part of the defined table ...

Can you try applying an AutoNumber format and see if that works?

CSS Class:

td.TableStyle_boldnumbered
{
font-weight: bold;
mc-hyphenate: never;
mc-auto-number-format: 'TEXT {n+}: ';
background-color: #c0c0c0;
}

So I am right-clicking the text, selecting Cell Content Style, selecting the style (td.TableStyle.header), and clicking OK.
Is the content in that cell inside a <p> tag or other tag (div, list, etc.)? If so, then you're applying the class to the parent <td> tag but not the tag immediately ...

does it work in another topic of if you make a different style?
can you post the css for the class you created? maybe you're trying to change something that doesn't work in print/pdf.

No - it doesn't work in a different topic with a new style.

Hi Laura, thanks for the reply.

So I am right-clicking the text, selecting Cell Content Style, selecting the style (td.TableStyle.header), and clicking OK.

The text changes to match the formatting of the style selected.

I generate and the text in the PDf is still plain text.

What am I doing ...

When I create a new table style and apply bold and an auto-number formula (Test Case {n+}: ), apply the style, save, and generate, the style does not show in the PDF. The text appears unchanged from what it was prior to the style change.

Even when I reset the class, reapply the style, and ...

The PDF output is perfect, but the Word output is messed up: bullets indented improperly, outline numbering in headings different size than text, etc.

Also X-refs are not generated -- link text is formatted properly but not hyperlinked, and and error in header where x-ref is supposed to be.
