No need to reply -- I figured it out by searching Flare's online help.

Hello. I'm creating several new projects for documents that are majorly table-driven. Unlike Word, I've been unable to say ... "OK Flare, take this text and make it into a table". Is this a Flare possibility? Thanking you in advance for your time to reply. P.S. I'm not sure that I have the correct ...

Thanks for your quick reply. That worked out perfectly!
I'm a newbie but getting better at it each day. The forum is awesome!

What would cause my TOC not to "print" to the PDF output. I've got it selected in the Project Properties window. As I'm trying this, it occurred to me that perhaps it is being generated but is located someplace else in the generated PDF (just not in the front)??!! Thanks for your time.

Hi Msquared,

I am using Flare 9. I checked my Word file/version of the document and sure enough -- Repeat Header Rows is turned on.
Most definitely, the table headers all appear in Flare. So, you think it is the Repeat Header Rows feature in Word causing table headers to appear for me?

I've ...

Msquared, thank you very much. That worked!
Also -- I'm not complaining - but for some reason all of my table headers came over on the import.
Once again, thanks for your assistance.

Hi. I've successfully imported a Word file in order to create a new Flare project. It came in clean with the exceptions of bullets and, of course, table work. Here is the thing. No one in my department has ever done a Word import (only me). However, we've our department-developed stylesheets and one ...

Hi SteveS,
The copy (between swiggly brackets) was beautiful! Thanks so much. Such a simple fix and I struggle for a while. The people on these forums are fabulous.

When I look at the properties for p.ListBullet1, things are similar. However, p.ListBullet1 looks terrific (aligned ...

It has been a while since I was here but I thought I should post this to help someone else who may need to do exactly what I needed to do.
First of all, I started with a Word document with styles just the way they should appear on the other side.... so, why select "Don't Preserve Word Styles ...

Hi; thanks. I've already done exactly as you indicated in your reply. As a matter of fact, I've done it three times. No-go. I am calling Madcap later today.

Not much that I try with Flare is successful. Now, I am trying to import a Word (Office 2007) document. I have a stylesheet created by my company but none of the styles in the stylesheet are there on the import. I've read, read, read, and re-read the guide to importing. Anyway ever encounter this? I ...

I'm scheduled for a Flare webinar on single sourcing. I've a document (installation guide) that goes through repeated updates for various versions. I'm jumping through hoops to keep up manually. For example, I've a 5.03 service pack 8 version; a 5.1 SP3 version. Keeping up with the service packs ...
