Re: Default skins and styles

Thanks Lisa,

I did have a look at that KB article and js file prior to posting, and it's not giving me everything the designer wants. There's yet another reference to "CatapultToc" in the js file. I think that's where the defaults are stored and MC is allowing customization for a subset from ...

Default skins and styles

Hi,

My basic question is, How do I modify the hover and selected font attributes for TOC items? The deeper question is, Where does MadCap pull hidden attributes from?

My visual designer wants specific font settings on TOC items for our WebHelp output. I need to make the book text for the current ...

Re: Hyperlink to a Merged TOC topic

Thanks Dave.

This is going to require more effort than I have time for. I was hoping for a quick fix for an unexpected problem.

Hyperlink to a Merged TOC topic

Hi again,

We use hyperlinks throughout our WebHelp projects and I'm merging in another Flare project for the first time. That is, I've set a TOC topic to pull in another Flare Project using the target method.

However, I can't find a way to link to that topic now that it's associated with a project ...

Re: How to open Table Style Editor

Thanks Kevin,

That option is grayed out in both places. I'm slecting the table by right-clicking the block.

How to open Table Style Editor

I need to create a table style that has solid lines (rules) going across the table (horizontal) to separate the rows. Looking at the Help file, it seems that the Table Style Editor is the tool for the job. Lots of info in the Help about the Table Style Editor. No info on how to access this dialog ...

Re: Hanging indent

Thanks Dave.

Yes, I understand about padding and margins. Both of these adjustments move the bullet or number along with the text as a single unit regardless of whether it's margined in from the page edge or padded in from the box edge.

The space I'm trying to manipulate is between the bullet or ...

Re: Custom buttons in WebHelp Toolbar?

Thanks Rick,

Yes, I found the OnClick field and tried pasting in java script. It didn't work and caused the About functionality to stop working.

There's nothing in the Help file about how to use the OnClick feature. Can you provide me with an example of java script that will work?

Thanks,

Custom buttons in WebHelp Toolbar?

Hi again,

Is it possible to implement custom buttons in the WebHelp toolbar?
Rather than Back, Forward, Search, etc. I'd like to place custom buttons that open new windows to various support sites, such as our forum, and KB site.

I imagine it might be easier to create a snippet for the topic ...

My Templates folder

Hi,

I need to establish the "My Templates" folder on a shared file server rather than in the local "My Documents" folder. How do I do that?

Thanks,

Hanging indent

Hi,

I'm looking for information on the hanging indent automatically applied to list items. How does one find the value of the hanging indent? How does one manipulate that value?

Thanks,

XP SP3, Flare 5.0.1
I need to implement a feedback option for our Help users. I'm trying to use xForms in the footer snippet for our WebHelp target.

The form needs to include something comparable to a couple of radio buttons for Helpful/Not Helpful and a comment box. The Submit button needs to ...

Re: IE security error opening Web Help

IE is the most common browser out there and the only one our supported for our software products.

Is there nothing we can do in Flare to prevent this behaviour in IE?
