Hi Ken, hi Nita,

D2H is supposed to work in Win 7 environments beginning with D2H 2009 V3. Release 480 belongs to D2H 2009 V2 while Release 500 belongs to D2H 2009 V3. Ken, you may remember that C1 used to roll out several major releases for D2H with keys that changed three times a year.
I don't ...

Hi,

I am sorry to say that your D2H installation seems to be not complete*. Please take a look at your Word addins. It ought to show c1d2h_author.dot and c1d2h_engine.dot. I attach a screenshot with my global addins. Let us know, please, when your Word addins don't show them.

* Completion is ...

Ok, that makes it bit clearer.

So, I now suggest to work with this Team Authoring tab. You may see what files have been checked out and continue your work with documents checked out, or check out other documents for changes.
Before leaving for a rest you may check in everything that you checked out ...

Hi,

I suggest to start at the beginning, means your items 3/4.
Did you close your project after step 3?
Or what else makes it necessary to open the project again (step 4)?
When you open your working copy of the project again you should immediately have the tab for Team Authoring, still not ...

Hi,

actually, there is only one way I know that is simplier than what you described:
instead of marking the topic and assign a condition it is easier to enter the appropriate topic property in a blank paragraph after its heading.
Then you may copy this paragraph into your clipboard, open the other ...

Hi Adsy,

Does the same error occur when you start a new project, created by new project wizard with default settings for a new Worddocument??

The reason why I want to know this: the issue might be in your environment (Word and its global add-ins) or your source file, or in your D2H project.
Until ...

Hi Adsy,

They are supposed to be YOUR Word startup-folder.

Kind regards,

Hi,

the reason why you do not have D2H ribbon(s) in Word may be caused by the template that is assigned to it.
So, check this first, please.

Hi,

creating styles in Word may not be necessary. I prefer to use D2H's built in list styles, e.g. c1h-bullet.
The problem is that D2H does not handle current Word's list features well when creating html output.

Kind regards,
Sabine Kamprowski

Hi Adsy,

are you sure that the c1d2H global addins in your Word Startup folder belong to your current D2H version and that THEY are responsible for Word's fatal error??

Hi Bettina,

in your target settings, Language section you may add links to projects that create different languages.
Be aware, please, that there are some restrictions in working with these linke projects.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Since Flare works with an internal html editor, I suggest to start with html files, created by Help Console.
I assume that this is the easier way.
I experienced some troubles when I did my first steps with Flare (about 2 years ago) starting with Word documents.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I assume that concepts are stored in topics only, similar to index entries. See some previous posts for index.

Hi Adsy,

yes, most of the staff D2H needs in Word is in those two Global Addins.
Perhaps your Word startup-folder does not contain the current author.- and engine.dot files.

This might happen when you had an older D2H version installed on the same machine.

Kind regards,

The issue in Ralph Schellers D2H project could be reduced by both of us to issues during export of ONE worddocument.
Export of a translation of this document runs several hours, even without a D2H project or more documents.
It consists of more than 4000 segments, some are very small, due to a lot ...

Hi,

the main difference between snippets and topics is that a topic is a somewhat complete entity in your results. It can be found via the TOC as well as Index or search function.
A topic may contain snippets which may contain smaller snippets. Snippets are useful if you need a part of a topic in ...

Hi Ralph Scheller,

I am not sure whether it's an issue restricted to Lingo trial version

Kind regards,

Hi Lino,

the issue you report might be caused by your import settings for your Word document(s):
Immediately after you entered your document(s) Flare analyzes them and asks you to fill in the "New Topic Styles".

The result may be seen in your target(s) or in project organizer's TOC section.
I ...

Hi,

does the page that is created contain your complete document? In that case I suggest to take a look into your source document. It may use some customized style names instead of Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.. If you want to continue with those stylenames you may add them in your project as ...

Hi,

I would like to bring the following thread to your attention:

It's about new projects, still it has helped me to get my index working in Flare with my merged D2H projects.

Hi,

actually I am not sure whether I understand what your requests are.
If you want to mark some parts of your Word sources as "new in January release" you are free in doing so.
You may also edit a table containing document's version history at the beginning of each document. This table does not ...

Hi Petr,

I am not sure whether D2H is to blame. Maybe it's an issue of Microsoft's Help compiler.
Sorry, I cann't help you.

Hi Feebeegeebee,

many thanks for your reply and for bringing global project linking to my attention. You may know merged chm files: DocToHelp merges NetHelps using the same interlink techniques that it uses in merged chm files, to jump from one module to a topic in another module. Additionally ...

Hi,

Until now, I managed to create a merged HTML Help output from three D2H projects that I prepared to convert to Flare: two modules and a hub project. And, with some experiments in Flare 11, I managed to get my links from a topic in module 1 to a topic in module 2 work again in HTML Help output ...

Hi Phill,

I am puzzled, do not know whether to suggest to repeat your D2H installation. If you have a Bronze Maintenance Plan or purchase of your license has been within the last 30 days, I suggest to contact MadCap support.
If you could reduce the sample project to two documents, one with the ...
