Hi,
We've followed the directions in this document to remove the ranking from search results in WebHelp:

However, now, when you enter a term in the search box that doesn't exist in the ...

Seems like this should be so straightforward...I'm using Table Style Sheets to create a style for a borderless table. On the General tab of the Table Style Editor I've set table margins to 0 pixels and outer borders to none. And I've applied the style to the table in my topic. But when I generate ...

Hi,
When I type a search term in the search box in WebHelp and then open a topic that appears as a result of the search, I'd expect that the topic open scrolled to the search term, and that the search term would be highlighted.

This works fine for me in Firefox on Windows, but in IE on Windows the ...

Hi,
Can I open an HTM file created in Flare in Flare without opening it within the context of a project? (In other words, without opening its associated project or copying it to an existing project?)
Thanks.

Thanks for that--the classes were set up in the default medium, so we're all good there. It's a bit of a mystery why they don't appear by default in the Styles pane. However, a coworker discovered a workaround: right-click the text to which you want to apply a span class, select any span class from ...

Thanks! I have the Styles pane open too, but my span classes don't appear in the Styles pane--just the span style, and what looks like two default span classes (span.boolean and span.state). I can't figure out any way to get to the span classes other than via the context menu.

Hi,
Our stylesheet has 28 span classes. When I try to apply a span class in the XML Editor (by right-clicking the text to which I want to apply the class and selecting Span Class from the context menu), I see a list of 20 span classes, and at the bottom of the list, this text "Only 20 of 28 styles ...

Thank you Nita!

Hi,
When I use Flare 7''s Zip feature (File > Zip > Zip Project) to zip up my project, the zipped file doesn't include my output folders. It does include the Content folder, the Project folder, and the project file (flprj). Does anyone know if Flare doesn't include the Output folder on purpose, or ...

Thank you Nita--your solution was just what I needed.

Not sure if this is a style question or a relationship table question!

I'm building WebHelp output for a project with a small relationship table. We're not using DITA, but I understood from Help that I could use a relationship table in any case. I have two columns ("task" and "concept") populated ...

Good idea! No dice: no results when searching the entire project for "line-height", in source code, for either topics or stylesheets.

The good news is that I don't see the message this morning at all, in either of the two projects I had seen it in earlier.

Curious and curiouser!

Hi,
This message appears in the Messages panel when I'm editing files. I'm using the same stylesheet in two projects, and I get the same message in both projects.

I've read some of the threads around this issue and here's what I have tried:
-I've opened the master stylesheet in the Internal Text ...

Thank you both for the input!

Hi,
I've searched, but I think I must be using the wrong keywords--or this feature may not exist.

Is it possible, in Flare, to insert something equivalent to FrameMaker's custom marker, and to run a report that indicates where those markers are used in a project?

I looked at file tags, but I need ...

I don't think this is possible, but I want to be sure: is there an option in Flare to associate an Acrobat Distiller job option with a PDF target?

I'm aware of the PDF Options in the Target Editor, and that you can specify Distiller joboption settings for images before you import FM files. My ...

I inadvertently turned on tags...problem solved!

Hi,
Earlier today, I had a topic that was causing Flare to return the error “Failed to open file [filename]. The given key was not present in the dictionary.” when I tried to open the topic.

This happened just after I had added a graphic to the file, so I opened the file in Notepad and removed ...

Brilliant. Thank you so much!

Hi Lisa-
Thanks for the explanations of mediums. I searched my stylesheet in the Internal Text Editor for @media--nothing.

Here's the code you asked for (I changed some of the text and figure names)...does this sequence look right? I think it's showing the graphic, the anchor/bookmark, and the ...

Hi,
Thanks for taking a look!

Here is my xref definition:


MadCap|xref.Figure_cross_ref
{
mc-format: '{color blue}See {paranum} {paratext} {/color}';
}

I don't see any references in the stylesheet to @media. I'm not sure I'm even using mediums ;) When I look at the styles.css stylesheet in ...

Hi,
I have a number of cross-references to figures, which I would like to appear as follows "See Figure 1: Figure caption."

The figures have autonumbering applied to them, so when I created my xref class, I used "{color blue}See {paranum} {paratext} {/color}".

The figures consist of the figure ...

I see--thank you for the input and the link to the feature request submittal site!

Hi,
I feel like I'm missing something pretty basic: When I retitle a topic (i.e., change the head1 in a topic), the topic title in the TOC editor does not update.

I see that there is a setting to use TOC titles as the title for the topic in the output (Auto-set title of linked file), but I'd like ...

You're a wizard! Thank you so much. That was exactly what was needed...I used G (global) H.
