MadCap Software Forums

Anyone have an opinion on the best font to use for text within the topic. I'm currently using Verdana 10 point. It looks fine, but I wonder if there's anything that looks better on the screen.

Nita,

Thanks for the help. I ended up putting the slideshow in a table, and that worked. However, I lost the ability to edit the slideshow. So Madcap created two bugs (one to allow the slideshow to float properly, and another to let the slideshow function in the table.

Good morning. I love the new slideshow feature, but I'm struggling with an alignment issue. My goal is to have a smaller slideshow imbedded in our welcome page, so it would be aligned to the right with text wrapped around. Through the Edit Slideshow settings I was able to limit the size of the ...

Thank you. Sorry I missed that one before posting.

I'm working in Flare 10.0.0, using TFS as source control, and I'm having intermittent lockups of the keyboard regarding text. I can use the mouse and still navigate using arrow keys, and I can copy + paste text. But I can't type any letters or numbers. It's happened three times today, and the only ...

Good afternoon,

I'm looking into using Flare v7 to create a knowledge base for our software system. Just toying around with the system, I created a project using the factory knowledge base template. As part of the template's instructions, I saved the included KB Topic Template as a template under ...

This is a pretty old thread. I was wondering if anyone knows if the ability to have drop-down text open expanded has been added to stylesheets somewhere in Flare?

Thank you

Good afternoon,

I've got my glossary terms beginning with upper-case letters, and I have my file set up to make the first reference on a topic a popup glossary definition. That works fine, but only if the word in the topic begins with an upper-case letter. Is there any way to apply the glossary ...

I've got an image file in my project that cause the following during the build:

Image "EOB_R report.png" regenerated for "" medium: GeneratedImages\EOB_R report.png

Does anyone know what that means and how to fix the issue?

Thank you

Good morning,

I cannot find a way to set a TOC topic as automatically open/expanded when the parent TOC entry is selected. In the screen shot I included, I want the How To and Discharge a Patient to display when the Admission Discharge folder is clicked. However, I want the Optional Configurations ...

I have been trying to use the Edit Picture feature to apply the same screen tip to an image that will be used in multiple topics. I click the "Apply the alternate text and screen tip to all image references." When I try to save, I get the attached error message, stating the "Object reference not set ...

Dave, thanks again for the help.

Is there a limit to how deep the breadcrumbs will go? I've got a TOC that goes 5-6 deep in some areas. But when I click past the third level to the 4th, 5th and sixth level, the breadcrumbs keep reverting to that third level.

They are all linked, according to the TOC editor.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Lisa, that was it. I had padding on the images. Thank you.

Dave, it turns out that was some temporary issue, and the drop-downs now are closed when the WebHelp is opened. However, they are offset just a few points above the baseline of the text. Any idea what would cause that? I have changed the font style in the style sheet, but that's the only ...

When I output my project, the dropdowns display already opened. I'd like them to be closed when the page opens. How do I set this? Also, for expanded and dropdowns, the icons are offset from the text. Any ideas what's happening there?

Thank you
