No luck either Schultza, but I find the Rotate posibility miserable anyway.
It should be possible to do customized rotating. And also with lines.
Let us both make a request!

Great, I was looking until I weighed an ounce.
Then I found this answer and gone are the problems.
Thanks

I ran into the same problems today and I resolved it by disabling the option 'Generate resized copies of scaled images' in the tab Advanced of the Target output.
Maybe this helps for you too.

Hi, I am also busy creating a Training at this moment with Flare and Capture.
I just create it as a WebHelp. Of course I have made different styling.
The advantage I like is that it is easy to jump back to subjects using the TOC.
You can also create a good handout using a PDF target
The disadvantage ...

Just to share with anyone who likes this.

Sometimes I group to much paragraphs, e.g. using Div to hold 6 paragraphs together
Formerly I selected the Div tag, Unbind and then added the Div tag again to less paragraphs (e.g. to 2 paragraphs to create 3 Div tags).
I discovered now that if you use the ...

Set your PDF-only topics to 'PrintOnly'.
Set your WebHelp-target to Exclude - 'PrintOnly'
Set your PDF-target to Exclude - 'ScreenOnly'

Succes

Point is, I want to keep the files English Dictionary and ProtocolList (an Auto Suggestion file) synchronized.
These two files are always located in the map Project\Advanced in the Project Organizer .
However, you cannot copy an external source into this map following Flare's procedure. It will be ...

("Page 137"? There's a PDF of the Flare help somewhere?)
Oh yes, a whole buch in your installation directory: ..\MadCap Flare V7\Flare.app\Resources\Guides

And I can tell you that I use Global Project linking a lot, but that is the one way direction I was not looking for in the example.

I've ...

It means that a file is mapped to an external source.
See also the FlareGettingStartedGuide in the section External Resources page 127 -131

I am not kidding.

From theFlareGettingStartedGuide:
External resources can be virtually any local or network files that you have access to (e.g., images,
PDF files, Flare project files). From the External Resources window pane, you can easily bring external
files into a project (i.e., a copy of ...

I think you mean changing it in the Skin styles? At least that is what I did to change the settings.

If your only goal is to backup, then I would advise the suggestion of Steve: use SyncToy.
I use it for years now and configured it to backup my work every day during lunch time.
Just try it. It is free and harms nothing.
After that you can always try another package.

External Resources was a great improvement!

Now the next step ...
Does anyone know if it is possible to
- automatically synchronize the External Resources when opening a project
- automatically synchronize the External Resources when closing a project

Currently I have always to do it manually and ...

Hi,

Just open the file and click on the Save button and you will be asked to remove the link.

Hi,

I have set the Page break after also to avoid and the widows and orphans are set to 2.
It works excellent at my place.

Hi,

Unfortunately I didn't discover a change. I could image that it should be possible to set it in the skin.

You are completely right about the External sources Andrew.
I like it and I use it a lot now. It is great.

In Flare 6 using the GPL is not completely correct. That's a one direction go. There you synchronize from the source to your project not the other way around.
But, I am happy now.

Hi Lisa

You don't need two paragraphs. Just insert the blockquote then insert the table.
This is not correct. If you do the blockquote disappears (at my place at least). In fact this is a bug.

Or, better yet, create a table class that has margin-left set to 40px or something, then on a blank ...

First of all:
My opinion is that it should be possible to indent a table simply (I hoped this was done in Flare 7), but I do it as follows (It looks crazy, but ok):

In front of the <p> tag I create a blockquote (press Tab and select blockquote) which you can position easily.
Then I press Enter to ...

Thanks for your reply.

Also, you won't notice Auto Suggestion is working until you start typing in content. It's not that the feature scans your project and then makes suggestions. It happens as you are entering text, sort of the way AutoText works in Word.
Yes I know, but nothing is happening ...

Does anyone already has experience with the new Auto Suggestion option?
I would like to work with it, but nothing happens although I have checked the settings.
What I can see is that probably the scanning of my project does not work. (In Flare 6.1 I always saw it processing)

Suggestions?
(Oh, sorry ...

I like the improvements of the XML editor together with the Auto Suggestion.
But I am also very happy with the External Resources synchronisation option (e.g. to keep your dictionary at 1 place)

Is there a way to find out whether a particular bug was fixed in Flare 7? I was given a bug number by Flare support, so I'm wondering if there is a way to look it up by number.
From as far as I know from earlier you will get an email indicating that a request has been honoured, but most of the ...

This is great.
Now in Flare7 it is solved by using External Resources and synchronizing the dictionary.
