I guess I should have stuck with "RamonS" - haha. Thanks for the correction, Dave!

...and thanks to forfear, also. Yes, important to associate the styles with the mediums.

Good info. Thank you, Kevin!

Does anyone use different fonts for headings when going to print-based output (FrameMaker or Word)?

If so, how do you do it? I tried keeping Verdana for body and selecting Georgia for all the headings, but I think my css might be invalid...?

body
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, "Sans ...

Thanks, Steve. I did just that.

Dear MadCap,

Please add this iframe tip to the Flare documentation!

Great information, guys! Thanks! The SHIFT+SPACE workaround works great.

Hi Paul, thank you for explaining the MadCap .xsd pointer.

I don't use Eclipse but I join the original poster in wondering why MadCap uses a DTD declaration from its website. I am an XML amateur but this proprietary website pointer for the .xsd file raises red flags for me.

Thanks for your reply, forfear. I think the loss of connection might be a Flare issue rather than http protocol because the path in the error message makes no sense - it's my local drive path appended (suffixed) with the network directory used for TFS. This error appears every time I close and ...

Our doc team is faced with the same situation - the developers are moving to Team Foundation Server (TFS) from VSS so we will probably need to as well.

I don't get your specific error. What I get is "The server name file <file> provided does not correspond to a server URI that can be found." The ...

The pending check-in message appears for me, too, on both VSS and TFS (we are considering moving from VSS to TFS).

This is a very informative thread - thanks. My contributions below.

On workspaces - Our team is deciding whether to move from Visual Source Safe (VSS) to Team Foundation Server (TFS). We don't know a whole lot about TFS. One of our developers said we'd need multiple workspaces per user if we ...

Thank you! I discovered that I can avoid losing td classes if I avoid using the TableStyles CSS. I am now relying on th, td, and td classes in the StyleSheets CSS to get the background and text alignment properties I want, without having to reapply if I delete or add rows. Yay!

Word to the wise ...

I'm not alternating row colors or column colors, but I am using unique shading for heading rows and body rows (plus a third shading, or background color, for certain table cells). Have you had success avoiding use of a "TableStyles" CSS when background color is needed for all table cells?

I see two alternatives for custom formatting of table columns. For example, I want to center the text in the three right-most columns but left-align the text in the left column.

Option 1: Apply a td-specific class from the "TableStyles" CSS.
Option 2: Apply a p-specific class from the ...

I may just try that. Thank you!

Thanks, LTinker68! Good information. Dreamweaver is not available for this project. I have submitted an enhancement request as you suggested.

Hello all you Flare gurus,

How do you apply a td-specific class to table cells without losing the border properties that come from the table style sheet?

I'm assuming the td-specific class is in the regular (non-table) style sheet. Classes from the table style sheet are not available from the ...

Thanks for the reply, Paul. I'm pretty sure the demo was not created with Flare. I suspect you're right that scripts and divs would be required.

I saw a demo of an online help system (probably WebHelp) in which a topic included several radio button links. Each link was for a procedure. For example, the "Edit documents" topic might include the following radio button links:

() Edit a single document
() Edit multiple documents (batch ...

Any news on this feature? I didn't see it mentioned in the Flare 4 beta R6 release notes.

Hi Alex,

Flare 3.1 does not output Frame tables with heading rows. As far as I can tell, you have to fix it in the Frame output. There's nothing you can do in Flare before outputting to Frame.

Looking forward to seeing Flare 4 - my wish is that it removes this issue (or that the new Frame-less ...

Hi Richard, can you clarify? Did you mean to refer to "Analyzer"? I don't have that product installed.

After your trial license key expires (or with the database server down, the internet connection down, or the firewall insurmountable), rate a topic in the Help deliverable.
