Thanks Lisa. I'll try it.

(Though it would be really nice if you could just select the properties of the bullet list from the Flare interface and change its color... sigh)

Using custom images for bullets (graphic file needs to be located in Content Explorer/Resources/Images) does not always work for some reason and they will not carry over into Microsoft Word or Adobe Framemaker.

So, we're looking at using the default circle or square images for our bullet symbols ...

Pressing F12 does not give you a complete list of all the styles in your style sheet. Just like the dropdown list, you only get styles that apply to the type of item on which you you have positioned the cursor. (Paragraph styles appear if you have a paragraph selected. List styles appear if you have ...

I guess the question I posted deals with ease of use and what are writers are fmiliar with rather than that Flare has an alternative way of doing things.

We come from RoboHelp X5. With that authoring tool, you can see all the styles that have been defined in your company's style sheet with the ...

Is there a way that I can get the styles for lists (bulleted lists and numbered lists) to appear in the paragraph styles dropdown list so that writers do not need to open a separate style list when they want to apply the list styles to a paragraph of text?

Thanks for all the info everyone. I am well aware of issues with inline styles. I've been in the business for 24 years, and as the information designer responsible for templates, I'm often the person telling writers not to use them.

Thanks for the tip Dave,

I will give it a try. Can you specify a name to go along with each color using the procedure you describe or are you limited to just the hex numbers?

If the color definitions are stored in the registry and cannot be stored in the project - then that to me is a product defect.

When writers here begin a new project, they will be basing it off of project templates that I have previously set up. I would like the color definitions stored in the ...

Hi Kevin. Not good. I am trying to define a set of corporate colors built inside a project template that writers can easily select from the palette.

I'm guessing that these two things are simple things for the Flare staff to implement. Surprised they are at version 3 and have not yet done so.

I ...

I am creating a custom color that I would like to identify by a name, such as \"Error Text Color\".
I cannot figure out how to do this in Flare. (I could do it easily in RoboHTMLX5 using Format > Colors > New.)

In Flare, I click Format > Color > More Colors. On the Color Picker dialog box, you can ...
