Hi ChoccieMuffin,

have you ever considered to use "custom hyphenation" for your words.
I assume you did, still I wonder why this is not a solution.

Hi Alpaca,

I agree with most of what wrote.
And, you may be aware of changes in more than one output file even if you did only small changes in one topic: e.g. NetHelp's search file searchindex.js needs to be updated almost everytime you modify a source file.
For this reason I use to look at the ...

Hi lindabab,

you'd better copy the complete content folder that has been generated by Flare, or try to use Flares publish function.

Hi,

Did you ever think of DocToHelp as an alternative to Flare??

Hi,

the method I would choose is this:
Create a snippet for each content section of a topic.
Add more (identical) snippets in the topic e.g. the Resources snippet so that it is in the first position, mark this with a condition for CSR, and in the positions required for the other roles. Mark all ...

Hi,

I misunderstood your intention. ;)
But I still think it's best to import all files needed into Flares content directory and if that works (means does not show any broken links) start with reorganization of source files into subfolders of content for two reasons:
1. If you move any file from ...

Hi,

there was a thread concerning logo size in skin recently...
Please see

Hi Mary,

I don't think that Flare only changes file extension :). When you generate the same target with output file name probe.doc and then with file name probe.docx without any other modifications you will get completely different files which should look exactly the same in Word (2010). I suggest ...

Hi,

why don't you use the same structure in Flares content that your original files have? If you want to change it later, Flare updates links in all source files.

Hi,

It is to be found in MadCaps stylesheets: search for Madcap | Related topics. In Advanced view you may find property mc-image in section unclassified. Here you may choose none or enter your own image.

Hi,

you might have realized meanwhile that Flare wants to include expanding text in the same paragraph as the text that is clicked to show.
I suggest to use togglers or drop down text to hide some bulleted text until user explicitly wants to see it.

Hi,

I assume that Dave Lee's reply from October 2016 might help. I found it in

Hi Alpaca,

what version of Internet Explorer is installed in the environment where Theme Designer does not work??
BTW: System requirements for D2H 2014V1 do not tell that this version works with Office 2016. So I suggest to start a test with other results that you may need.

Hi Beaver,

I only had to choose exactly the same language in pdfs language settings to get it work

Hi Beaver,

I can offer a workaround:
Instead of choosing "Generate glossar proxy" for your advanced PDF Output option you may add a topic with a heading of your choice which contains a Glossary Proxy.

For German users it is possible to modify the text used for "Generate glossar proxy" in advanced ...

Hi Adsy,

I did not upgrade projects from Flare 11 to Flare 17 directly, but I know how much effort it is to move from DocToHelp to Flare. :)
Here are my suggestions:
check that your target uses your tripane skin explicitly
and
check that your skin still has all buttons you want selected in Toolbar ...

Hi,

did you create a new folder for your customized themes BEFORE your last try? If you've overseen this please test it as described.

If there is still no success, I suggest to check which version of Internet Explorer is installed on your PC and compare it with what is recommended for your D2H ...

Hi,

Maybe there is a mix with some older parts in your (customized) theme subfolder. I suggest to start with a new customized theme folder location. Let D2H create it, and test it: means create a brand new theme in it. Then you may try to move YOUR content from the old theme folder to the new ...

Hi,

Doc-To-Help might tell you the place where it expects your themes: It's to be found in the "Files" section of "Doc-To-Help Options" in the file menu. The address you find there points to a folder "Themes" which contains the subfolders you mention.

Hi,

you may achieve a footer with a background by an appropriate masterpage and a modified stylesheet.

Hi Nita,

many thanks for your help! The solution is

...the entire panel doesn't have enough room to accommodate.

Shame on me, I must have been blind. Actually, I expected a solution similar of D2H Tabs theme: If navigation pane is too smal it shifts a complete cell to a new line below.

Hi,
Working with latest Flare version: when I create HTML5 output with Tripane Skin, I use Tab Layout "ImagethenText" for Navigation Pane. Yet, where do I specify any text (i.e. Glossary) for this tab?
The screenshot I attach shows the area with a red frame.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Louise,

in order to remove top navigation open "Styles" in skin editor for top navigation and scroll down to menu. There, open the Layout section and change Display to None. The attached screenshot might help to find it. There may be more to do to adapt your skin to your sample.

For me, this issue is "solved":
My rule now is to avoid Toc links which contain a special character like a German Umlaut AND a bookmark (#). It does not matter whether it's a bookmark created by Word for Toc entries or a bookmark created by the author. The attached screenshot might help others with ...

Hi,

Which version of DocToHelp do you use now, and which Word version?
The green color is normally a hint that the text has the character style C1H Jump, the following hidden text is the target of this jump (link).
You may be faster with re-inserting of your links if you simply mark the link source ...
