Hi All,

This may be one of the shortest posts ever. Does anybody know if the build log can be excluded when you publish to a destination? I have an internal location on a Sharepoint server to which I post internal documents - PDF format. Everything works beautifully, BUT for each document posted to ...

Hi - I was doing some research on an HTML Help problem and saw this post, so thought I would pass along a little experience. If you change the name of a generated CHM in Windows Explorer, search results will be displayed twice - i.e., go to the search tab, type in a search word and execute, and ...

Here’s what I did – I put a body frame on top of the decoration frame. Configure the body frame so it has no background. It will be transparent when rendered,though not in WYSIWYG. Then, create a topic with the text you want printed over the decoration frame, applying whatever style or styles ...

I have the same problem when performing search in chm files generated by Flare 7.0 (on Windows XP), what shall I do then?

Hi Olga - You have a pretty name. I had this issue in Flare 8 on XP, and registering the itcc.dll solved the issue. Here's how (forgive me if this is too basic, but I'm an ...

After much experimentation and a little outside help, I have the answer to this issue. It's the Align property in the Table Properties dialog. If set to Left, it inserts the margin_left=0 property in the table_class whenever a table is inserted or edited. Setting the Align property to <default ...

Lisa,

Thank you again for taking the time to consider this issue – I greatly appreciate it.

Yes, unfortunately the output renders the table with the zero margin. I am rendering the print output directly to PDF and non-print to HTML help.

I have tested a variety of scenarios and I am convinced ...

Thank you - excellent explanation.

Deleting the inline style fixes the issue, but unfortunately doesn't solve the problem. When I delete the inline style, save and close and reopen in WYSIWIG, everything is correct. But if I change media types, Flare inserts the inline style again.

To test this ...

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the suggestion. Below is the code for one of the affected tables followed by one that is not affected. The margin-left property is "0" in the affected example, and I assume that that is the inline style to which you are referring, but it also looks like both styles are being ...

Hello - thanks for looking at this.

Flare has suddenly stopped honoring the margin-left property in my Table Styles. I am on v4.2 – I know but it ain’t my money. I am attempting to convert a project that was previously used only to produce HTML help to also produce PDF output, and have a ...

Ok - played with this some more. Deselected "avoid creating empty topics" in the flimp file and now I have the updated topic in my help file. The threshhold was set at 1000 characters. Not smart.

I also have the old pre-update topic in there under a separate name. The updated topic name is "System ...

Hello Madcap forum folks.

I'm a new Flare user and inherited a project on a new job. It's been a process of discovery that is, I'm sure, ongoing.

This project consists of a 500ish topic HTML Help file that was apparently imported from a single Word document with every Heading1 and Heading2 topic ...
