What in my situation works excellent:
Go to Edit Image and Size.
Set Maximum Size:
In my case I used to set the Width. All other values are set to default.

In the tab Thumbnail I use Mouse Over with often the setting Max Height to 96 px.

I hope it helps for you too.

Still I have no problem.
If I just take a region and then move that region over the screen to the bottom and sides as far as possible, the button automatically jumps inside or outside the region border as appropriate.

Hi Carl,

I made a simple try and it works fine. If I set the region to the complete screen, the button appears within the borders of the region. Otherwise it will be outside.
Do you work with an older version perhaps?

On the other hand:
If the picture so large that the button moves outside the ...

Maybe you can take a look at http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 13&t=12331 where I describe my work style. Although it is a while back I still work in that way with great pleasure.

I hope someone can help.
When the option Enable Time Delay is not set everything works fine.
However, normally I always (some years already) work with this option and never had any problem.

Since today this option freezes MadCap Capture and I have to kill the program.
I have tried everything ...

Thanks, that is a logical answer. However, that was already done by myself and others.
In fact I was just indicating that I tried it in IE11.

Thank you Nicolas,

I did exactly what you wrote.
It works with Chrome and Firefox. That is great already.
But it does not work with IE11 .

Hi Matt,

Yes, you are right.
I always put a div around it and apply the condition to the div.
Otherwise you have to select the table an apply the condition.

Greetings,

You are right Steve.
When I create a transparent image and just put it on an HTML page (outside Flare) it is awful too.
so I'm not sure if something can be done by MadCap to overcome the problem
I could imagine that Flare would measure the background colour of the topic and then changes the ...

When I use text in an object and set its background transparent it looks awful in the topic.

Example: The left object has a white background, the right one is set to be transparent.
Does anyone know why this happens? Or is there a fix? Or is it just a bug!

The easiest and quickest way to do is to drag the topic in which the bookmark is defined from the Content Explorer to the location in your topic.
Then within the link right-click and select Edit Cross-Reference .
In the window Insert Cross-Reference click the Bookmark button below list with topics ...

I always use MadCap Capture to capture images and I never have problems. My pictures look nice in WebHelp as well as PDF or Word outputs.
I always use PNG as output and leave the Color Depth and Print DPI to default.
In the topics I set the Width to my needs and the Height to Automatic or vice versa ...

I use it a lot and created a bunch of classes.
In this way I can change the size of an image very quickly.

Example:
img._h65mm
{
height: 65mm;
width: auto;
}

img._h70mm
{
width: auto;
height: 70mm;
}

img._h80mm
{
width: auto;
height: 80mm;
}

img._h60mm
{
width: auto;
height: 60mm ...

Hi Amber,

I tried but it is not different.

Hi Ramon,

I have checked your suggestions but I cannot find a clue by comparing where it does and where it does not. Also the type of scaling of the editor does not help.
Right on this moment I am ready with it. I report this as bug.
Do other users have the same problem?

Hi Lisa,

I have tested it and found that nowhere the text moves to the next line:
Expanding Text.png
I use Chrome, but I have done tests with IE10, Firefox, and Safari as well. All the same behavior.
It also makes no difference when outputting to HTML5 or WebHelp.

I find it hard to believe no ...

Thanks Lisa,

More or less you are right.
I had the tables aligned left; i.e. when creating the table and setting Align to Left .

Now I set Align to Default and it works out fine.
In the topic using no ident:
<table class="TableStyle-HousStyleHeader" style="mc-table-style: url('../Resources ...

In my case I wanted to have the table style indented 5mm:

mcTableStyle
{
name: HousStyleHeader_05;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-bottom ...

This phenomenon is still going on.
However, sometimes when I grab the scrollbar in a topic it doesn't work and another it is going well. It almost looks like a kind of setting.
I can't figure out what is causing this.

At a certain moment I did create a new movie (HTML5 - WebM).
When I build that movie I tried to view it. However, it started but did not run!
There was no warning or error message.

After investigating this phenomenon I discovered that the path name was too long. Actually it was 265 characters. On ...

When creating call-outs do not wrap the text if more lines are involved. Instead just use Enter to create the lines.
Otherwise there will be a big chance that the call-out will not look as expected.

At least this is the case using Chrome.

I just found out that it is expensive: 1 license: about €1800 and if you also need a industry-specific terminology dictionary (1000 terms) another €5000
I don't think that my boss likes that.
That's a pity because STE is good when you have to publish to non-English countries.

I don't know what you meant by "in the TOC file I set also 3 cover files with conditions". Why would you want to have three different (conditionalized) files in the TOC in the Global project when you don't generate your target from there?

Ah, I used 1 TOC for different targets in my case. Then it ...

Hi Rekha,

In the global project:
Well, I did put all the logos in the global project cover file (conditionalized).
Then in the TOC file I set also 3 cover files with conditions:
Cover A (with logo A): Condition-A
Cover B (with logo B): Condition-B
Cover C (with logo C): Condition-C

In the child ...

Hi Rekha,

What is exactly not working?
You did set the conditions for each child project, but did you exclude the other ones in the target?
I mean, if you have child project A with logo A, child project B with logo B and child project C with logo C and you look at the target of child project B, you ...
