No, the indents are not ok. They should be 0.5" from the margin but currently they do not get indented at all.

I select Use Destination under Paste Special since I want the styles to be as per that document (heading numberings that are not possible through Flare).

Hi,

My Word output is giving the incorrect font at times. The pattern I have noticed is that this seems to be happening when there is a <p> tag inside a <blockquote>.

This is how the incorrect Word output looks.

Option to view the list of filters that have been created. (Appears in correct font ...

Hi Margaret,

That works perfectly! Thanks for all the help.
Much appreciated.

Thanks Margaret.
Yes, that's exactly my problem and your macro works great.
Unfortunately, my heading levels h6.heading7 and h6.heading8 don't work with the macro. And most of the headings from the Flare output should fall into those levels when inserted into the big Word document. :(
So, the Find ...

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with my Word output. My target Word file has around 350 pages.
After generating the Word file, the entire contents need to be added to a bigger Word document.
Simple copy and paste does not work mainly because of heading numbering.
In the bigger Word document, my source ...

Thanks SteveS. Will try that.

Also, found another thread in this forum on a similar subject. That says to save the output file with a name and extension (.docx) instead of Default. Will try that out too.

Thanks again.

Hello,

When I generate the Word output and try to open it, it opens in Protected view.
I need to copy some part of this output and paste in another document; Copy and paste does not work - probably because it is in protected view.

My release is this weekend and this has started happening only now ...

Thanks Nita.

Actually, it is not the h7 and h8 styles alone..none of the headings show in the Navigation pane. But your answer tells me that is normal in anything before Flare 12 (I use Flare 10).

So how do I map the headings between Flare and Word?

.......

I think I just figured it. Base the ...

Thank you so much devjoe...that worked!

I was able to create the h7 and h8 styles in Flare and apply them wherever relevant.

One issue now is that somehow the headings are not appearing at all in the Navigation pane in Word. Not sure why...any tips?

Hi,

I need heading7 and heading8 in my printed documentation. Hence, I added these 2 styles in the CSS. However, if I filter the box to 'show Heading Styles' then h7 and h8 do not display. They appear only when Show all Styles is selected. If I open any topic also, these 2 styles do not show in the ...

Thanks Gary. Since I'm still on Flare 10, guess I will have to live with what is available until I upgrade.

Thanks.

To answer your questions -

I'm using Apache Subversion 1.8.15 64 bit.
The repository is on the server.
Project is bound using Flare.
Highly unlikely that someone has moved things around. Even if there is a slight chance, my error should have been one-off...but it happens erratically ...

Thanks for explaining that to me.

What about some of us who are using 64 bit machines (Windows 8.1) but 32 bit Flare (10.2)? It can cause an issue right? Problem is I dont think my organisation is thinking of spending on upgrade to Flare 12 currently-so what should I do?

TeSol

All the replies relate to Flare 11 and Flare 12. I am using Flare 10.2 - is that an issue? Also, I see that Madcap Flare is 32-bit whereas I am running on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Could that be an issue?

Its really annoying. This morning I find that the project is no longer bound to the SVN URL ...

Oh, that's so easy...works beautifully.
Thanks so much Nita Beck.
I shudder to think how much of work would have been involved if you hadnt given me this solution.

Much appreciated.

I use Subversion.

No, nothing other than Flare. I'm the lone technical writer in my organisation hence only I have this problem.

Any idea where to look for the logs?

Thanks

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to copy and paste tables from Word to Flare? Regular text gets copied. But where tables are concerned only the text in the tables gets copied; not the tables themselves. It is then painful to create a table freshly and put the text in the desired columns. :(

Any help ...

Thank you ChoccieMuffin....yes, that did the trick.

Hi,

I keep having difficulty connecting to the Source Control repository. It's very hit and miss-I am just not able to identify conditions when the connect happens and when it doesn't. I have tried restarting, rebooting....same issue.
Ping to the location indicates that the connection is fine. Then ...

I have set up headings as h4 and h5 in my Flare html file. However, the Word output is changing this to h1 and h2. I want the h4 and h5 styles to be retained. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Regards,
TeSol

How do you generate without Auto numbering?
I've looked for that option everywhere...somehow, not able to find it.

Please tell me how to do this. I use Flare 10.

TeSol

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and help.

I've going ahead with conditional text for the 2nd document.

However, I have a basic question. In that case should I ensure that text in the entire document has condition tags attached i.e. Should the text that should be in Document 1 also have condition tags? Reason I am asking this is because ...

Thanks Dave.

Yeah, that's a good way...unfortunately, the client wants 2 documents.
