Lisa,

That's it -- that's all I needed to do -- I set the frame's vertical alignment property to bottom and the text appears where it should! Thank you, thank you, thank you

Hi Lisa,

Thanks so much -- I had thought of creating a new style for lead-in sentences, and luckily my project is still at a size that is manageable enough that I can go through it and re-apply the new style.

I thought I could create a new page called "Index" in my page layout file and format the ...

I'm about 90% done setting up a pretty good set of page layouts for PDF output but I have three issues that I have not been able to resolve:

1. I want sentences that lead in to a list to stay with the list instead of having a page break inserted after the lead in sentence and before the list. In my ...

In the Flare Viewer (V6), the index results pane displays each topic title and the paths to each topic title. All of the paths are appended with "#anchorN" where N = some number. Is there a way to remove the "#anchorN" from the paths displayed in the index pane?

Thanks!
Amy

I'm not sure if anyone can help me without seeing my files/XML, but thought I'd give it a shot... Maybe this problem is a result of upgrading to V6 as I did not encounter this in V5.

I have a table style (Basic) that has thin borders around the outside of the table and for all rows. This style ...

Sweet! Many thanks!

Hi,

Anyone know if there is a way to use "Find and Replace" to find a word in all of the topics in my project and replace each instance of the word with a variable?

Thanks,
Amy

Great idea! I will give it a try...

Thanks very much,
Amy

Wondering if there is a way to insert a registered trademark (as a symbol) in a variable? For example, ProductName (R). I can copy and paste the symbol into the variables editor but I cannot figure out how to make it appear as a superscript symbol in the output.

Thanks,
Amy

I use small caps with an initial capital letter for most of my headings and I am having the same issue since upgrading to Flare 6 this morning. I truly hope MadCap can fix this problem.

As a followup for the benefit of folks following this thread, there is one catch -- although the callouts can be easily translated because they are stored in separate XML files, the rectangle or bubble that contains the text for the callout does not resize. So, if the translation results in more ...

I contacted MadCap Support and they told me of one other option:

"That said, if you have originally created an image with Capture, you can choose File->Recapture and replace the image with a new image. The callouts will remain in place. You would then need to Save As to avoid replacing the original ...

I understand that Capture saves callouts/text as (XML-based) objects that are separate from a screen capture and thus translating the callouts is straightforward. What I am wondering is what advantage this offers if I have to re-take the screen capture in different languages -- is there a way to ...

Hi Ramon,

Thanks for the info re: screen portraits. I may consider going that route. In the meantime, can you elaborate a bit on the workflow for taking a screen capture in a different language yet being able to retain the callouts in the same location as on the original screen capture? I'm brand ...

Anyone found a way to solve this yet?

Hi Lisa,

You are right. I need to view the topic with the internal text editor (I was looking for the actual XML code the other day -- at least I learned this for future reference, which is great -- knew Flare offered us access to the code and wondered about the marker v code...). Anyway, it looks ...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the instructions. I tried what you suggested and it looks like the find and replace was successful throughout the XML code, but the change is not reflected in the index output. I want to replace the phrase " - Dialog Box Options" with nothing (" "). I've attached a screen shot ...

Does anyone know if there is a way to search for and replace index keywords? I really do not want to open every topic and manually edit keywords.

Thanks!
Amy

Thanks for posting anyway. Flare needs to fix this "bug."

Hi,

My Flare DotNet Help project and all supporting files are bound to Perforce v4. Every time I attempt to move a topic in the Content Explorer, as soon as I click Update Links in the dialog box that appears, Flare freezes and I have to use the Windows Task Manager to end the program. Before ...
