Hi George,

Well, it turns out that it was my bad 8)

Some time ago, I had - for some reason - set the BODY line and text height at 10 pt. When I reset those to the default settings, the problem (as well as another issue I had regarding the formatting of Autonumbers) disappeared! :-)

Now, why a ...

Heading does not display properly when line breaking.

I have the following heading in the topic (h2):
Udklip1.PNG

The heading is referenced in the TOC (p.TOC2):
Udklip2.PNG

Problem:
The heading breaks in the column of my double-column page layout, but it doesn't look good.
I would like to be ...

Try searching for "liprjf" (either in the Windows 7 Search box or in Windows Explorer).
Then look in the Target-folder in your Lingo project (liprjf). There should be a Flare file there.

I get that all the time unfortunately. What helps me is either of the following procedures:

Option 1 - Repair in Lingo
Once you click away the "tags out of order" dialog, click on the previous segment in the LEFT-HAND (source) column (on the last approved segment).
Press Return/accept again.
Try ...

Does anybody know whether it is possible to translate the following information in Lingo:

1. The target (FLTAR) file name (as displayed in the project organizer) (eg. from source "Brugermanual (da-DK)" to target "User Manual (en-GB)").
2. The FLTAR output file name (General>Output file) (eg. from ...

My problem is that I regularly experience that a handful of files are somehow "corrupt", XML problems, tags not matching etc.
I would like to be able to simply update and translate these individual files only.
Otherwise, if I choose to update the entire project, I will have to go through (Accept ...

Problem solved.

Apparently, toggling the INSERT key into the "wrong mode", creates the unexpected cursor behavior. Madcap has filed this as a bug.
As far as I know, this issue only applies to Lingo V7.

Know what you mean , but nope. I'm on a regular keyboard. Never had any problems in previous versions.
It's more like some hidden autocomplete feature run amok...
I'm gonna do a Mimic video and send to support.

Is it just me or has anybody noticed the cursor jumping back and forth when editing in the edit field in the new Lingo V7?
For instance when I place the cursor in the middle of a word and begin typing, the cursor suddenly jumps to the end of the word or splits the word in two.

I have changed multiple files in my Flare project but at this moment only want to update one of those files in my Lingo project (and not all the revised files).
According to the Lingo help, I should be able to do so by updating the Lingo project and then select the file in my Flare project (as far ...

I have a single HTML file , which I want to import into Flare to end up with multiple topics (based on, say, a heading 1).
The HTML file has following structure:

h1
h2
div

h1
h2
div

h1
h2
div

etc. etc. etc.

I know Flare can automatically create new topics when importing a Word file, but how can ...

After upgrading to v8, I also missed the startup file, so I changed the registry to make it work again. And it worked ... that is until I upgraded to 8.1.1., when it suddenly disappeared completely...

I contacted Madcap and they informed me that:

"This was a bug that was in FlareV8.
What happened ...

How do I replace/"translate"/convert/localize images, which do not contain segments?

For images which contain at least one segment (eg. call-out or text box), I get the option of "replacing the image with a localized version"...
LingoBug09_02_Replacing images.png

... however, for images, which ...

Well, I had to change the startup file in the registry. Hope the button turns up at some point!

I love the new Flare 8, but I can't find the "Set/reset startup file" option in v8 (it was in the File menu in v7).
Does anybody know?

I was wondering whether it would be possible to toggle between two languages from within a Webhelp window?

Let's say I have created two Webhelp language versions which are in two separate folders: one Webhelp Danish and another Webhelp English.
Can I add two buttons (e.g. flag icons) within each ...

Thanks for the advice, guys. I managed to do the export-and-import, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to do what I did without assistance from your IT dept.

If anybody is in a similar position, I'll simply recommend the following procedure:

BEFORE you move to another domain (or install another ...

Today, we migrated our network to a new domain and that basically reset all my Flare settings.
Is there any way to retrieve my personal settings (e.g. my colors in the Color Picker, the list of recent files/projects etc.) so that my "new" Flare can be an exact copy of my "old "Flare? Or has all the ...

@ Laura: yes.

@ ChoccieMuffin: I am using condition tags.

Just to give you an example:
I created a default Flare v.6 project ("Book").
I then created a project TOC ("Test") containing a single file (CH1b.htm) and made the TOC master.

I then created a target (webhelp) pointing to ...

Problem: When I build a WebHelp or DotNetHelp target (even from just a single HTM file), the compiler goes bananas and includes ALL my project files in the target!
However, this is only the case when I build WebHelp and DotNetHelp targets. Works fine for PDF, XPS and Word.

solution: make a dedicated 64-bit version, so we can compile out projects in no time!

Well, I uninstalled Lingo 3 (incl. registry entries), updated to Lingo 4 and when I got the option to install the SQL database, the link then took me to the MS SQL Express 2008 page. The new thing was that I was now presented with the option to install a 64-bit version of the database! Excellent ...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for tip! That solved it.
Thx for your help.

Yours,
Peter

When I set the language to English, the cross-references (e.g. "see "Paragraph" on page 1") work fine.
However, when I change the language to any non-English language, the following happens:
1) the preposition is capitalized and 2) there is no space between the "page" and [page reference].

For ...

OK. Thx.

Could you please take me through the Lingo installation on a 64-bit machine step-by-step?

I'm a little confused as to the description in the web help concerning the use of SQL Express 2005, SQL Express 2008 and the variuos required/not required management tools.

Thanks in advance.

Yours ...
