Thanks Dave. I've reported it as a bug.

Hi,

I have a peculiar issue with variables in one of my targets.

I created the following variable to change the spelling of 'Organisation' based on American/British English audience.

The default variable set has the the following names and definitions:
Name-----------Definition

Hi,


The documents I am working on currently are being translated into Japanese. The Japanese guides are almost 4 versions behind the current document. The current version of the document is 4.6, which is in English and the latest translated Japanese version is on 4.2. Now, the translation team ...

I recently included feedback buttons in my Flare project. I've written the entire procedure here - https://thechecklistaddict.wordpress.co ... cap-flare/
Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,

I have been working on adding a feedback button to the masterpage of my webhelp. I wrote the HTML and CSS for it on codepen and when I was trying to implement the same in Flare, it showed this error message:

..\Content\Resources\Snippets\FooterFeedback.flsnp: CSS: Invalid display: flex ...

Hi Steve and Lydia,

Yes i agree, i've copied pagelayouts and stylesheets and moved things around myself sometime back. Never had any trouble. Wonder why now!
I've raised a support ticket and will be sharing my source files with the support team to fingure out the issue.
Thank you so much for your ...

Hi Lydia,

Yes, I do. I use print medium for both word and PDF outputs.

while i was working on generating word output with the right layout and styles, I made a copy of the existing stylesheet and pagelayout and made some tweaks to have finer a word output. What inturn Flare does is generate blank ...

Hi,

This is a desperate call for help as i have to deliver a set of word docs in two days . All was well till now cos i was sharing PDF output with my clients. But now they want word outputs and Flare, honestly is a pain when it comes to generating word outputs.

I have a list of issues here.

Hi,

I have been having some issues with my word output. The spacing above and below the heading levels change in the word output whereas these are just fine in the PDF output. I am wondering why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a lot of repeated hyperlinks in the same page and have created a first set of links and was trying to copy them. But when i copy and paste, Flare removes the hyperlink and pastes it as simple text. Is there a quick and easy way to paste hyperlinks without actually losing the 'links ...

Hi,

I have previous topic and next topic icons in the toolbar which when clicked take the user to the next or previous topic as ordered in the TOC. Flare.png

I want to change these buttons to Forward and Back. So if a user clicks Back it takes the user to the last viewed topic rather than a ...

Hi Lydia,

Thank you so much for helping me out. Your last point about the default style medium was the key to having the correct cross-reference.

-Anjana

I did absolutely everything that's mentioned here

http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... references

Any clue what I could be missing?

Hi Lydia!

Thanks for listing out possible missing links. Do i need to create two different classes for print and online medium?

Hi,

I have two issues with cross-references

1) I have cross-references across my document and did some edits to the text. Edits included changing the cross-reference text from See {paratext} to 'Refer {paratext}'. For some strange reason my cross-references appear as plain text and not hyperlinks ...

No! you are just being modest. :) This was the third time you answered my query and exactly pointed out the 'missing' links. Thanks for all the support.

About the internal editor, yes, I agree. It's easier to edit certain things directly from the style sheet. I am slightly comfortable using the ...

Thanks Nita. You are just amazing. You know exactly what's wrong and point it out. Thank you so much.
I didn't check the medium. I changed the style in print and was wondering why It didn't change in the online medium.

Hi,

I have created a div class called DivExample and have applied it for all the 'examples' in my document.
I have made changes to the original style in terms of font color and background. For some strange reason flare doesn't update the style universally. It sticks to the old one.

Any particular ...

Hi,

I've been trying to use Flare's image style of graying out certain part of the screen, so that users focus on the part of the screen we are talking about. Is this done using Madcap Capture? I am currently using SnagIt. Please let me know if there's an easy way to do it.

I am on Flare 11. Thanks for sharing the link. Will see if this helps

Hi,

Is there a setting in Flare that'll help me retrieve accurate results from webhelp? For example, when I am looking for "How to create a rule" I want the topic/task "How to create a rule" to show up first in the search results. Which is not the case with the current webhelp am working on.

In ...

Hi,

Thank you so much for the help. I did figure out how to do it and yes I was complicating it

Hi,

I am new to flare and have been working on a project file that has a lot of flare elements. I am exploring a new feature everyday. So I maybe a little slow in figuring out what exactly you are trying to convey.
This is what I did:
1. Content Explorer > Pagelayouts > Title.flpgl PageLayout.png ...

Thank you for sharing the link.
I already have this setting in place. The date and time stamp shows up just fine on web help. It doesn't show up in the word and PDF outputs.

Hi,

I have been looking for a topic in Madcap flare help to help me include an automated date stamp in the outputs (Word/PDF) I generate from Flare, sadly I haven't come across a proper step-by-step information to do this.

I want the word and PDF documents to have the last updated date.

There's a ...
