There isn't much detail here, but from your other post I noticed you'd set up the td style in your main styelsheet.

Setting table styles in your main stylesheet will work fine for tables that do not use a table stylesheet.
However, when you apply a table style, you're reformatting the table using ...

david,
I had done mine pretty much the exact same way, though I had been chagrined that I couldn't get the word Note or Tip to be bold. After I saw your post I added your "mc-auto-number-class: bold;" line to my .css but the bold does not show up either in ouput or in the Flare editor. Did that ...

So, say your project is called Service.flprj.

The files for this project template should be in:

My templates\Service.flprj

The Service.flprj folder should contain all the files for your project template, so your targets in this template should be in:

My templates\Service.flprj\Project\Targets ...

If you create a paragraph tag inside the table cell (easy way to do this is to press Enter), you should be able to add your normal bullet lists and other formatting.

I can't actually think of an easy way to do it.
All I can think of is to open the TOC in the internal text editor, then search for the topic filename in that - not exactly straightforward, but you'll find all the links.

Yep, but neither type of help displays the topics in the same pane as the TOC or Search.

He means in Content Explorer... if you click on the 'Show files' icon on the Content Explorer toolbar, you can select a group of files and drag them onto your topic to create related topics links.

There isn't a setting in Flare to let you do this. It's been mentioned in this forum a few times, but AFAIK it's not something that anyone has managed to do (by hacking the WebHelp code).

Also, you're saying that the MadCap Flare help works in this way?
The Flare help doesn't display help topics ...

Well, it's been reported as an issue. I disagree that there's a problem with the way the feature works, it's more the way it was used.

Analyzer can only do so much. You have to decide whether the topics that it thinks are unused should be deleted or not, so if you delete them without checking ...

I'm not sure I agree. To Flare these topics will appear to be unused, as the user cannot navigate to them in the help system. The fact they have outward links isn't that important.
The way you're displaying them is to link to them directly (not using Flare's CSH), so how would Flare know that they ...

This might be what you're looking for, it's about how to make a non-scrolling region (without any post-processing).

I get this in my projects too, the import says there's an error for every single xref in the project, but the imported projects build fine without any problems.

I've no idea what causes this error, but it hasn't caused any problems in any of my projects.

No problem.
I find drop-downs (and lists) can be a bit tricky when it comes to adding divs, etc. Quite often I have to create stuff outside of the drop-down then paste it in.

If you've set it up correctly, when you add a new topic select My templates on the left and your topic template files should be listed on the right.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "I then created a topic with the formatting that I want to use for all topics, built the project, and copied it ...

I tried it out, and copy and paste should work.
1. Outside of the drop-down, create the div tag and insert the table as you do normally.
2. Right-click the div tag block and select Edit > Copy.
3. Move the cursor inside the drop-down body and paste.

Alternatively, type in the drop-down heading ...

Ok, I'm still not sure exactly what the steps are that you're doing.

You can insert a table in a drop-down body, so I'm guessing it's something to do with how you're trying to indent it. What is it you're trying to do by pressing Tab? Insert a div tag?

If you're having problems setting it up ...

I'm not sure what "it won't work" means.
You can't add a table to a drop-down body?
You have a table in a drop-down but you can't indent it?

Alternatively, you could set up a paragraph style to do it automatically. I use something similar in one of my projects.

First create a new paragraph class, and set up an auto-number style for the numbering you want, e.g. ' {n+}. '

To include a checkbox, put the image that you want to use in your ...

If a mini-TOC doesn't appear for an individual topic, the first thing I would check is that the topic isn't linked to the TOC in more than one place.

I have a TOC Book linked to a file inside of that book, the "About" page.

The topic that is linked to the book in the TOC should not also be included inside of that book.

If a topic is linked twice in the TOC to both a both and a topic, then it will not have a mini-TOC (as it would be impossible ...

Yep, you need to click Start.

This caught me out too when I first used it, it is really unintuitive.

This post is about the same thing and might be of some help...

a) you don't know how to set up search filters?

If so, all the information you need is in the help - http://www.madcapsoftware.com/support/webhelp/flare/Content/Steps/S2_Add_Stuff/Search/Creating_Search_Filters.htm

b) you set up search filters, but they don't work when you ...

Yep, I noticed this with v2, I found a similar number of GIFs and about 15 folders with FrameMaker import files.

I installed CCleaner after finding that, purely to tidy up after Flare.

To remove bold, I wouldn't advise selecting the text and clicking the bold button again - you tend to make a tag mess.

Try using one of these ways:
- Select the section containing the bold tag(s) and click the 'Unformat' button
- Right-click the b tag and select 'Unbind'
