I think he's talking about the Show/Hide nav button in the toolbar and whether or not to keep it there rather than the actual Nav pane itself. Personally, I leave the show/hide button where it is. It doesn't take up much space and if people use it then great, if not it is hardly in the way. Though I...

Probably you have set a thumbnail size in your stylesheet for that img class. I have thumbnails set in my CSS and any attempt to resize is instantly snapped back to the thumbnail size that I have set. Look for mc-thumbnail-max-width or height.

I wouldn't know to be honest. But I'd expect you probably want to lightest type of help that Flare can produce. I'd discuss with your developers the idea that you have and how best to execute it and this will probably drive what format you need to output to. I'd suspect that the developers would cre...

Hi, Well to kind of answer both questions in one go. Flare can't produce help that is going to dynamically display content based on a user's privilages. I used to use RH, and it can't do that either. The 2 products are very similar in this regard. Your other options would be to create mutliple help ...

First thing would be to clear your browser cache. Try the webhelp in another browser and see if you get the same result. Then, if it is still hanging around I'd start looking at the mediums in the CSS and in your master pages layouts to double/triple check the footer proxy is set as expected. I'd al...

Yes, that JS box is for all of your scripts. For example, I have 4 different JS custom buttons going on in that box.

var button1 = function()
{
your script
}

var button2 = function()
{
your script
}

var button3 = function()
{
your script
}

What are you seeing in that toolbar list? For HTML5 skins it is has the following (and you can only remove them from the right list, not actually delete them): NextTopic (I guess you refer to this one as forward) Previous Topic (I guess you refer to this one as back) Print Expand All Topic Ratings E...

That could be down to capital letters being given preference over actual spelling. It is in order, it's just that DD is considered before Database. I bet if you renamed DD to Dd then it would move. Also, try it in other browsers. Flare might just say 'this is the list, sort it from A-Z' but browsers...

Have a look in the search filter file (Project > Advanced > filtername)
But this should list them as alphabetic as well. I just went in and changed a name, saved it, closed it, reopened it and it was reordered. Double check there are no spaces at the front of the names etc.

In the page layout file that you are using for the title page. Remove the header/footer blocks and you should be fine.

You can't use tab stops in Flare in the same way as Word. You will need to set margin or padding sizes in the style sheet to your heading levels.
Not sure about the background colour on auto-numbered headings as I don't use them.

Have you created a page layout file? (if not head over to the Flare Help and have a read about them)
If you have, use the Frames to insert your image, and then another Frame for the text.

Select the text you want to apply the conidtion to and go to Format > Conditions.

Probably the easiest fix I've ever been able to give. Glad you figured it out.

Post your code.

I'd say look at the drop-down styles in your CSS. Most likely, page-break-before or even the page-break-inside settings. Look in both the head and body tags of the drop-down style.

I only have img styles. It has saved me with setting up thumbnails, pop-ups etc for larger images and border settings etc. My images dont have specific <p> styles applied. They fall in line with whatever the text above is using. In short, use img styles. It will help you down the line even if it doe...

Don't believe so. Don't think Mimic supports other video types. I tried an AVI and it was a no go, all import options want mimic files.

You could create your mimic output and stitch it to the video that you have..not really an ideal fix though.

Rather than using the table icon to insert your table, use the menu Table > Insert > Table.
There you can set a table header, select the tablestyle to use and pretty much anything else you want. I never use the 'quick insert' option as it just takes longer.

You should contact MadCap support in that case. They will have more information.

This will probably help...

I feel your pain, I used to spend quite a while fixing my tables after word imports I don't know if you can not have borders on the top row/header of your table styles without manually coding it. Doesn't look like it's available in the tablestyle editor. If you can do tables with those borders then ...

Unfortunately yes, 2 columns is probably the only way you can get this done. Instead of creating another table, why dont you try inserting a new row at the top of the existing table with 2 columns in it? You can then set a avoid page break after on the top row of the table. Are you using table style...

Hi all, Sharepoint is available but I am not using it at the moment. I'm the only author here so source control hasn't been a priority, I run manual back ups and look after that stuff myself. However, we recently had a large release pulled and changes that I had made as part of it needed to be backe...

Do the variables need to be nested? If the text is just 'Installing applications made by VariableA' then you could just put the variables side-by-side? variable A = Installing applications made by variable B = CompanyName Or do you need to put company name within that text at times? I guess if you n...
