HI.
I've also tried all the possible solutions, but as soon as I add an image or 'something' which is apparently not within the size limits of the cell, it changes the table columns. Also, often if you remove the image, it doesn't return to the size it was... and it is totally random the way it ...

Hi
We are making images sometimes screen shots (using Snagit for the most part), sometimes images that have annotations added in power point or word, sometimes just adding jpeg/png photos and sometimes even taking a screen shot of an enlarged Powerpoint slide so we can reduce it without losing ...

I have a large project. How do I set a tooltip "Click to enlarge" on all images (in many htm files/snippets) that have a specific style class so that it appears when I hover over the image. I set the thumbnail as popup so that it enlarges when I click on the image.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a Visio drawing with links from several branches. To put it into Flare project I need to change it to a picture.
So I lose the links.
Image mapping doesn't work (well) for PDF output.
Does anyone have a tried and tested solution for this?
Thanks

I make svg from powerpoint images. Does not work for me either... it's a shame as the pngs (screen shots) come out terrible quality when imported to flare

I have recently started adding svg files in my Flare html project because when I insert png files they lose quality.
But now I wanted to make a pdf so I can send the project to someone for review and I get "Error Processing SVG file" in the middle of the build and it does not progress from there ...

HI
I don't have the Install for all users option.
If I was logged in as admin would this make a difference do you think?
What other suggestions are there.

Hi
I have a great quality (or looks so at least) image in Powerpoint or Word or Snagit - photos or screenshots (both have problem).
When I copy into Flare, it immediately looks blurry. Especially screenshots (that were captured with Snagit).
They are not bigger in Flare (if anything, smaller).

Not ...

Hi.
I have a number of different machines.
On the front cover of my user guide I have the machine name and an image.
In my master project, I want to set up several page layouts, each one has a different machine image & name.
In a project, which may be single source for several machines, I want Flare ...

Did you ever get a solution to this? I'd really like to know how to change the buttons.
Joanna

Thanks. Would love to know why this is happening.

Hi
I would like to give users the option to print the whole output when it is made up of multiple topics - not just individual topic. (HTML output - side menu)

Does anyone have a solution for this (the print button could be either in the side pane or in the header)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Did you get a reply/fix from Madcap?
I need to add multi-sheet Visio flowcharts as separate topics in Flare and I am looking for the easiest and quickest way to do this.
Joanna

Hi
How are you marking changes in projects so that it is easiest for reviewers to easily see what changes were made, without reviewing the whole document again (talking about PDF outputs)?
Apart from turning on the track changes (which I feel is buggy), are there any other easy non-time-consuming ...

Hi
In my global project (template)...
I have a front page heading. It can be H1 or I can change it to be a unique style, not used anywhere else in the project.
I would like to be able to automatically pick up the text from that header (1st header in pdf/unique header in pdf) and use it as the footer ...

Did you get a reply regarding conditions not working?

HI Rob
When you say "static text" you mean that the same will appear on all pages?

HI
I can create 2 body frames in a page layout document. But the text flows automatically from column to column. (And the h1 has the number in the first column and the text in the 2nd column.)
I need to know how to create a document in which there are 2 columns (of different widths), where from page ...

Thanks so much. That worked.

In Flare, it is not giving me an option to select another program. See attachment.

Hi
I changed computer and all of a sudden when I try to open a picture in Flare in another graphics program by right-clicking the image and selecting "Open linked file with", the only option is "MSPaint.exe" even though I have Snagit on my computer. (My computer was basically mirrored onto this ...

Hi
Does anyone use Flare with Sharepoint (installed or cloud)?
What are the pros/cons/limits?

We have having trouble managing single sourcing without an external CMS that works also with Flare projects.
Thanks

OK, so I got a reply from Madcap:
For the "inject empty page...." checkbox to actually work, you have to have defined in your page layout for that page also an empty page.
1. Make sure "Inject empty page..." is checked in the target.
2. Open the page layout file (the one for which you want an empty ...
