Hi, all. Though my question could fit into a few prior threads, it is at a more general level, so I thought might deserve its own thread.

Background:
> I am designing a workflow for importing legacy WORD docs into an existing Flare project that was originally developed as a WebHelp-output-only ...

Lisa:
Thanks so much for devoting the time to answer my questions on this. I am learning a lot about tables and have a lot more to learn. I appreciate this forum.

Thanks, Roger. The answer about embedding vs hyperllinking is good to know.

I'm doing a pilot project to prove the feasibility of (and scope the work required to move to) single sourcing from Flare to WebHelp and PDF. The group I am working with were already ...

Thanks, HTH. You are HTH1 with me.

I am just now hitting this issue in my attempt to design the "least inefficient" import of legacy WORD docs into Flare. I know very little about CSS, but I was wondering, if you knew how to write the desired list structures and elements directly in your CSS file, then during the import process ...

Hi, all. My question concerns style mapping. (It'll take a bit of background to set the table for the actual question, so your forebearance is appreciated.)
Background:
- I need to import legacy WORD docs, then use the imported content for single sourcing for WebHelp and Print (PDF).
- We have ...
