Re: Topics as snippets?

It would be nice if you could have a dialog box displayed when you drop a topic into another so that you could choose "Insert as snippet", "Insert as link" or "Insert as text".

Topics as snippets?

I'm a Flare newbie and I'm finding it frustrating having to decide whether or not to 'snippetize' stuff because of the management overhead that comes with snippets.

I've noticed that if I add this code to a topic It works just fine:
<MadCap:snippetBlock src="othertopicfile.htm" />

In other words ...

Spaces in cross reference

I have a cross reference style in my print stylesheet as follows:

mc-format: '{i}{paratext}{/i} {pageref}'

If I use it as shown, with the single space between {/i} and {pageref}, I get NO space at all in the Word output.
If I have two spaces between {/i} and {pageref} (worth a try, right?), I get ...

Limit TOC depth in Word

So, I want to limit the depth in my TOC proxy in Word output to h1 and h2.

I know that I can set the mc-heading-level to zero to suppress a heading level from appearing in the TOC, but this also affects the MiniTOCs, and I don't want to do that. Is there a solution to this within Flare?

Re: Set image wrapping to "behind text" in header

When I say the wrapping is wrong, I mean that I'm trying to set the image "wrapping style" (the "WrapFormat" property of the shape) to be behind the text. But I don't seem to be able to make Flare output the image to Word that way - the image is always inline with the text (so the text is pushed ...

Re: Set image wrapping to "behind text" in header

Thanks for the help - I haven't found anything that works yet. What I've tried is:

- Putting a background image on the page using my print stylesheet - I tried applying it to the body and to a div inside the body but in neither case did the image appear.
- Setting the body frame layer to float ...

Set image wrapping to "behind text" in header

Newbie here....

I have a page layout for Word output with a large image in the header. That works fine, but I want the wrapping settings for the image to be set to "behind text" so my body text overlaps the header image. I'm sure I could do it with vba, but is there some obvious way that I'm ...
