MadCap Software Forums

(see my earlier post from today)
I just kept playing around with this and copying .css files and entire help files back and forth. At one point a new Resources folder appeared at the root of my "Documents\My Madcap Flare Projects" folder, and in it was a Stylesheets folder containing MadCapBlaze.css ...

I am having the same issue with Word 2007 and Flare 7 - can't build MyMSWord - and I unfortunately need to do this today. My guess is the issue has something to do with Win7 permissions. The ability to change the option for Flare so I can "run as administrator" is grayed out, although I am supposed ...

Lisa, thanks for the additional information. It seems I keep finding out more and more about Flare. I really appreciate your help!

I also tried the right-click/Refresh suggestion - again, still red. I just can't figure out why that font color is so stubborn. It's very ...

Ron, thank you for your reply. I switched to Layout(print) and the text still looked black. I had already checked the stylesheet and the code. The text still publishes in red (see response to other post as well). I need to keep working on this to get it figured out.
