Hi there,
I have the same issue.

Was your suggestion to use the "Include non-TOC bookmarks in the bookmarks page" checkbox in the pdf target?
I cannot use that because I have other bookmarks in my document which I don't want to show up in the pdf bookmarks pane.

So the question is still not ...

Hi there,
I have the same or a similar problem (with no red but a lot of green files) and will open a bug report about it, attaching my projects.

Hi there,
in my glossary or list of abbreviation I have two similar entries with different meanings, e.g. AAA for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and AAA for Amino Acid Analysis. When I add a glossary link to "AAA", one of them gets automatically linked, I have no choice there. Probably it's the first in ...

Hi there,
thanks about all the research and information. I think the problem is neither if the formatting makes sense nor how it will be displayed in a browser.

If it was not allowed to use a span tag inside of another span tag, it should never be allowed. But generally it IS allowed: It works when ...

Hi there,
Thanks for your suggestions.
What I don't understand is why applying the second style deletes the first one?
When I format text as "bold" using the tool bar and then format the whole sentence as "italic", the bold word stays bold. Why doesn't that work with styles, too?
And when I apply ...

Hi there,
I would like to keep a previously applied character style when selecting a new one on top ... I give an example:
Let's say I have the text "I like apples." First I apply my span.italic to the 'like'. (I like apples.) Then I want to apply span.bold to all three words.
Now in my project ...

I hoped that there is some automatic feature ...
I think it is a common (or at least understandable) requirement, that you want to have an "easily readable" hyperlink text where the user can click on it (Webhelp or pdf file ...) but if it is printed on paper the user has to have the entire URL ...

Hi there,
in our project we have a few hyperlinks to different websites.
Now I would like to format those hyperlinks differently - depending on the target. For WebHelp I want to have something like "You can find detailed information in our Knowledgebase ", where the user can click on the link to get ...

Hi there,
we are using Flare 7 to create WebHelps (and pdf output).
At the moment our topic titles are set to the default "Always use first topic heading". The headings correspond to the tabs in the program interface we describe. In different sections of the program you can find the same tab names ...

Hi there,
our help text contains variables and formulas with characters using subscript and/or superscript format. Thus the line height, i.e.the distance between the lines increases when the line contains subscript or superscript characters.
When this kind of text stands in a table, two things don't ...

Hello Greg,
thanks for your help. Now it works.

Hello there,
one year later, with version 6, I am having another problem concerning the same problem.
Last year, with version 5, I found out that I had to rename the paragraph formats in the Framemaker TOC from "IVZ", which is the german default abbreviation, to "TOC". Then the TOC import worked ...

Hello there,
we are importing a Framemaker book into Flare. On one computer (Flare V5, Acrobat 9) the import works fine. On another computer (Flare V6, Acrobat 8) Flare shows error messages "A PDF file is taking a long time to create. Do you want to abort the operation?". Irrespective of the answer ...

Hi there,
I got it. I set the Project Properties and the Target language to the right language and now it looks fine.

Does anyone know about the error message during compilation "No language skin file available for language ‚xx‘"?

What consequences does it have?

Thanks
Heike K

Yes, I just tested it and it looks good. That's a good sign ...

Hi,

I am working on a German OS. Good idea - I will ask our translation department to test it on a respective OS.
You'll hear from me ...

Hello,
I tested Flare with some translated texts, including czech, russian and polish.
The contents of the topics looks good, whereas there are several problems in the generated TOC and Index. The russian entries only consist of ?????, some of the czech and polish special characters are wrong.
Are ...

Hello,
one step further: I found out that the import mechanism has problems with german special characters (ä, ö, ü) in the formulas.
Most of the formulas with special characters are converted into those strange "Tipps"-jpgs.
However - not all of them. I found one formula which was converted ...

So if you don't like the german version, have a look at our french one. These are the respective incorrect images generated out of the french Framemaker files.
As you probably assume, it's the french translation for "Tipps:"
I don't know how this paragraph numbering format intervenes with the ...

Hi there,

thanks for the suggestions.
I am not very fond of wmf files either. We could convert them. But what to do with the formulas? They are written with Framemaker's formula editor or were imported from previous Word files ...

The spot is the same on every jpg. If you zoom into the jpgs you ...

Hi there,
this is definitely my strangest problem with importing Framemaker files into Flare. Just try to believe it ... :shock:
My Framemaker files contain about 700 formulas written with the formula editor. They are converted into jpgs. Whereas most of them are correct and look fine in Flare ...

just to have an idea ... The last one was created from an original *.wmf file.
So it happens with most of the formulas and wmf files, but not with all of them.

Greetings

Hi there,
thanks for the triple help! In fact all of your answers were helpful.

The combination of "inherit" and "body" made it :idea: : Even if I had no properties in my original stylesheet body tag, Flare generated automatically some 12 pt font size which I could see in the Flare stylesheet ...

Hi there,
thanks for your suggestions.
I just found out that the htm pages look different in Internet Explorer than in Firefox.
left side: Firefox, right side: Internet Explorer

In my chm file it's like in IE. I'd like to be it like in Firefox. Is there any way to influence that ...

Hi Lisa,
thanks for answering.
My editor is set to Medium (default). I have only one target and that is chm help. Nevertheless, the preview differs from the editor view, as you see in the screenshot below. Even the bullet points are bigger in the output - which I would like to change, too, if ...
