Re: Cross referencing to a step within a topic

I use it a lot.
And .... it is not a believe. Using a bookmark is the way to do it.
But ... bookmark the location, save your file, drag the file from the Content Explorer to the location you want, right-click the link and edit the cross-reference. Then you select the bookmark.
It is quick and easy.

Re: MadCap Capture hasn't been updated since 2012?

As far I can see, the last 'separate' delivery I have had was March 2013.
Later on it became part of the Flare delivery, but no real change apart from a capture possibility in Flare.
I must say that I like the product, but also SnagIt. Often I use them both.
It would be good if the good parts of ...

I also use png (in WebHelp as well as PDF and Word) and never have problems, but when resizing I always set one of the sides to Automatic!
In 99% of all grabs I use Capture.

Re: Indenting Tables

I think you have to go into the Text editor and change the margin-left there.
Example:
<table style="mc-table-style: url('../../../../../Resources/TableStyles/HousStyleHeader.css');margin-left: 0;margin-right: auto;caption-side: top;width: 180mm;" class="TableStyle-HousStyleHeader" cellspacing="0 ...

Re: Multiple Versions of Same Product

Hi Nina,

It depends a little bit how you use your projects.
In my case:
Different customers use different versions.
And indeed you can use conditions for that, but keep in mind that it might become complex if you have to condition customers as well as versions in parts of a topic.
For main versions ...

Re: How to change image sizing? Which of the 3 settings?

I do work a lot with images.
With Capture I use most of the time CTRL+SHIFT+R (Region) to make a screenshot. Before I press the red button I click the left-top and the bottom-right handle to fine tune the area with the cursor. That works great and very precise!
This way I avoid cropping (I hate that ...

The point is that I sometimes forget to do the action and then I run into resolving issues. In ...

Cursor jumping to the footer in case of a div style

This is a very irritating phenomenon within the XML editor using Layout (Print).

Since version 10 this happens.
Whenever I use a div style and my cursor is somewhere in the text within the div, the cursor jumps to the footer when I move the cursor a line up or down.
I figured out that it is the div ...

Re: Bad output of lists in Word

The technical support was great again.
The solution is in the list style:
The property text-align in the group Block had a value and should be defaulted (not set)
