Please let me know if I'm not understanding the problem correctly, but you can apply a specific table style to every table in the project.

I do have a table style applied to all tables but is there an option to set the table width to 100% within a table style? If there is, I am not aware of it or ...

In reformatting old manuals from a previous writer, I need to change all tables to be formatted at 100% width instead of a specific width. However, I can't seem to get any wildcards to work in Find and Replace in Files.

For example, I need to replace the following:

width: 666px;

with

width ...

I am having an issue with getting the favicon to display in my browser tab.

I have added the following code to my Default.htm file between the <head> tags:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="Content/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

The favicon is in the Content folder but it still doesn't ...

My project currently uses the MadCap:xref cross-references style to link to other documents using the {filename} command. However, in some instances it is pulling in random numbers after the cross reference when viewing the PDF output.

This only seems to occur in a printed output and doesn't occur ...

I am creating Quick Reference Cards to be printed and cut. To avoid duplicate effort, I would like the information added to the front and back body frames at the top of the Page Layout to automatically display on the front and back body frames at the bottom of the page layout. Does anyone know if ...

Good news as this bug has been fixed in Flare 11!

Is there a way to associate a different master page to the startup topic for CHM output? The footer that we use for all other topics is located in the master page; however, we would like to use a different and more simplified version of our footer in the startup topic. I have not been able to find a ...

I assume this feature has not yet been added? We also have a similar problem, where we have 20+ writers working off a LAN. With each writer having their own project, the profiles do not carry over and therefore are missing when one writer opens another writer's project.

It would be very beneficial ...

It happens more often than not, but there are some cases where it does not happen at all. In addition, retyping the paragraph has fixed the problem about 10% of the time, but the other 90% remains to have an issue.

The printed output displays just as the XML editor does - with justification being incorrect.

Using a print output, I am having an issue with Flare losing justification when a word or two are bolded. For example, the following paragraph correctly uses justified lines when no formatting is added.

However, when the words "Checklist Number" is bolded, the justification is lost ...

Also, check that each of your page layout pages has a body frame in it. Flare does really odd things (like inserting extra pages) if there is no body frame.

Thanks to both for your responses. The TOC includes the appropriate breaks and doesn't have duplicate topics. It seems that having a Body ...

When developing page layouts for a new manual structure, we are currently having issues with pages from the page layout repeating themselves. We currently have a Title page, followed by and Empty page, a Right page, and a Left page in the page layout for the Front Matter of the manual.

I am hoping someone has a style suggestion for fixing the following alignment issue with Registered Trademarks:

We routinely use a "Note - " component, created using an autonumber. When a registered trademark symbol is inserted, the corresponding line of text is pushed down and out ...

Rob,

Thanks for your reply. I just came to this same conclusion myself and then saw your reply. If I had actually checked the forums in the past couple days, this would've saved me some headache. I was afraid this was the case and was hoping there was another way around it.

I guess that means I'd ...

It seems that if I name the new topic the same name as the template file, only one copy is created, but if the name varies from the template file, two copies are created; however, I still haven't come up with or seen a reason why this is happening.

I wasn't sure which thread this question should be posted in so I'm hoping someone here can help.

When I add a new topic from a template and change the file name, Flare is adding 2 topics from the same template. Is there a way to change this so only 1 copy is added?

For example, if I add a topic ...

HeraTech,

Can you provide any additional information on how everything turned out. Was it a smooth transition once everything was set up properly and have you had any problems with the TFS integrating with Flare 8 (assuming you're on 8 )? We are also looking for a source control interface to use ...

I'd like to know more about this and how it's done.

Out of curiosity, has anyone encountered new information about this question?

There was a style set in the Block category that shouldn't have been. Never thought to look there. Thanks for the help.

How can I get the image (displayed to the left of my drop down text) to actually display to the left of the text?

I currently have the mc-image-position style setting set to "left" but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. When I set the style to left, the image displays ...

Thanks. I tried out both styles and the drop down text was the method I was looking for.

In my document, I have multiple error messages listed, using the title as the expanding text heading. I have not been able to use expanding text to encompass multiple style compnents.

For example, in the attached image, I would like my expanding text to encompass both the p style (ERROR MESSAGE ...

First option worked great! Thanks for your help.

I am wondering if there is a way to create a standard bookmark/link that can be added to multiple documents so that it would not have to be entered over and over again. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to create one or find out how to create one.

For example, I have multiple documents that ...
