In FrameMaker, I designed a table to look like this: Can I use the TableStyle Editor to make the header borders look the same in Flare? If so, I can't figure out how. Is there another way to make it look the way I want?

Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some table behaviour in my Web Help that seems odd. I wanted to check with you all to see if this is expected or strange?

I've got a table with outer top and bottom borders. It also has borders inside to separate each column and each row.

When I open the Web Help, I see ...

Hi Margaret,
I'm not sure why I never got a notification that you responded to my post. Thank you for taking the time to post that response. I am not too afraid to make a simple change like that.

Lisa,
You are the queen. Seriously.
Thanks for the taking the time to spell those things out for me.

Wil,
Thanks for posting. I'd almost given up on this issue, and I never saw Steve's post until I saw yours today.

Update: Steve, after I didn't get a solution from this forum, I logged a support case. The tech support rep told me that this was happening because of an existing bug because I was ...

Hi Lisa,
A couple of questions if you don't mind. (Caveat: they are probably going to sound very elementary and lame, but that's just where I'm at right now.)

First of all, I don't know how to insert a table without selecting a table style. Each time I go to Table>Insert>Table, I see the dialog ...

Hi Lisa,
Will this do the trick?

Hi all,
When I create a table, the column lines in the header row appear slightly to the left of the body column lines. I assume this is a setting that I've set up incorrectly in my style sheet, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Is anyone familiar with this issue?

Here's what my table looks ...

Andrew,
Amazing! That did the trick. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Hi Andrew,
There's no reason that I'm not using display: none other than it didn't occur to me? Is that a property in the stylesheet?

Hi Lisa,
I have ol ol, ul ul, etc. complex selectors. I'm not using them in this project. I'm using p.Bulleted for my lists. How can I tell if the complex selectors are interfering?

Hi,
I'm creating a guide that I need to produce print and web output for. I wasn't happy with the way the end of my web topics were looking, so I decided to add a p.EndOfTopic style that I use to create padding at the end of each topic. I created it in the non-print medium. I've verified that the ...

techwriter31,
Unfortunately, your suggestion did not solve the problem.

Thank you for suggesting anyway.

Hi Laura,
Sorry for the delayed response. I never got a notification that you responded to this and I've been busy with other stuff.

All of the images are 96 DPI and they are all around 1101x882 px. All of my images appear skewed in the web output.

Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a variety of screen shots in my project (which has both PDF and Web outputs). When I view the images in my PDF output, they look just as I expect. When I view the same images in the web output (which I've applied the thumbnail effect to) they look terrible. They appear to be cinched ...

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me, Ladies.
I just needed to increase the font size for all text in the tables, but my brain was in a rut thinking that I needed to do that thru a style for text. I didn't even think of the TableStyle Editor, but once Lisa suggested it, I set the ...

I'm utterly stumped. My mission is to change all td styles in one topic using the Find and Replace feature in the text editor rather than going cell by cell in the XML editor. Originally, I was trying to save time, but I think I've wasted more time trying to figure this out than it would have taken ...

Hi all,
I've got a TOC in my Flare project that is linked to the source files. I must have accidentally checked the "Link Generated Files To Source Files" checkbox when I imported from FM...

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to undo this without re-importing?

Thank you,

Okay, Lisa. I'll add this to my list of support ticket items...
Thanks for your efforts.

Created the WebHelp, using the same stylesheet. The p.ManualTitle comes through loud and clear on the webhelp, but it still isn't taking effect in the PDF...

I'm including a picture for your viewing enjoyment.

The purple color for the p tag took! I can't view the code; I assume is this because I'm creating a PDF?
I do have "print" selected for the medium in the Target Editor's Advanced tab.

The stylesheet seems to be working for the most part, but changes I make to the p.ManualTitle style do not take ...

Lisa,
Thank you for the in-depth explanations. I found that line of code in all of the topics in this TOC. I removed the line of code, saved the files while still in the internal text editor, and then rebuilt it. The master stylesheet now shows as "default" in the Topic Properties, and "Styles.css ...

Lisa,
How do I know if it's hardcoded? I'm not familiar with code...

Hi Lisa,
Forgot to mention... that is set to "default".

I'm struggling with the application of stylesheets right now, too. I've got a project with several stylesheets and several targets. I want to use different stylesheets for various targets. All of the content in this project has been converted from FM. When I did the conversion, I named it ...
