Alright - sounds like I have to put up with the compile warnings. I know they are harmless, but I was considering them noise that might hide some actual warnings that I need to address

Sounds like that's the process though hey. I appreciate your response.

garyjgeoaccess - you are my hero!!! Thanks

I have one Webhelp Flare file, and in it I use conditional text and create two Webhelp targets because the content goes with two different versions of my company software.

One version of my company software is Map only, and the other version is Map and Grid. So, almost all the content in Map is ...

I want the tables to appear differently in the print PDF output than in the Webhelp. I created a new table style called PRINT. In my help, I applied the WEB table style to my table, but in the table properties, I clicked the Print Styles button and set the print style for the table to the PRINT ...

Thanks - believe it or not, that's the answer I got from Flare support a few hours ago. Don't name the output path. Just use the default. It fixed the problem. I'm going to say that this is definitely a bug. Time to log I guess Thanks for your response!

One thing to keep in mind that bit me in the butt is that if you enable MOTW, users can't open PDF files you've linked into your TOC or made a link to from a topic.

There is a workaround for this that Tinker gave me, which if you search this forum you'll find, but you should be aware of that ...

I have a page layout that has a front page and a normal page. The front page has a graphic embedded into it at the top. My project is on the network, and the image is in the project's Contents|Resources|Images folder.

When I build my PDF output from Flare, the image will only show up if the Output ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I contacted MadCap, and Neal gave me the following response:

It looks as though your computer should be more than sufficient. I would recommend a computer with at least a 1.8GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, Windows XP SP3 or Vista SP1, and at least 10GB of RAM free on the HD ...

My fumbling old computer is dying a slow and painful death. My company is willing to replace it with a hand-me-down from the developers. I've been asked to identify that besides the regular processing speed needed to run our software, how robust do I need my machine to be? I want to be honest so I ...

From what I found out, this was not possible. I did submit a feature request, but I think they prioritize requests by the number of people asking for them. So, if we want this fixed, everyone who reads this topic and wishes it worked they way I wanted should probably post a feature request......

I love the feature where you can paste a cursor mode onto a screen capture. However, my software app has two custom cursor shapes that don't appear in this list. Is there any way to add new cursor shapes to the list?

I guess we've pushed it to it's limit hey!! Thank you so much for taking the time to offer advice; it's really helped.

Is that a manual tag? In other words, do I have to open each topic in the text editor and add that div if I want to include it?

The table is left aligned

Now, I'm wondering if you can help with bullets. You see, some of my topics have main sections all in toggles. Then, some of those sections have toggles. So, two levels of toggles... Ok, the main toggle will open and close all the information in its section, unless I've expanded any of the toggles ...

You're right, it does replace the P tag, but as long as it's on the body tag, it works. This is probably the same reasoning though why I can't embed it in a list - it takes over the list tag.

Here is the coding for using div to center a table on the body.
1) Start with a P tag
2) Insert the table ...

Fantastic. Thanks

Hi there

Is there any way (other than an after build hack) to make the Search accordian pane be the open that's open by default (instead of the Contents pane)?

Also, is there any way to include a link in a topic that automatically opens the Search pane?

Have a DIV class with the text-align set to center, and inside that div, create a table with the positioning set to center (left-margin:auto and right-margin: auto).

Thanks for your help. Creating a Div tag with the property Center definitly works when directly off the Body tag. Now, I'm ...

I'm working in IE7, and it doesn't handle the auto left and right - still left aligned even though I set it to center.

Your div style solution is interesting, though I am sad the style doesn't work in both ie and ff, considering about 16% or something of users actually use ff now. I'll give it a ...

Apparently, Sentence Case is NOT possible in CSS

Yes, the table is directly on the Body tag. Oh well, I've adjusted the table to auto-fit the window at 100%. I was hoping to fit to contents and center, but if I have to manually apply a tag at each table, that's just too much work.

I write for IE. I don't even have Firefox installed. My reasoning ...

So Ltinker - does that mean your tables are always left aligned too unless you go in and add the center tag? Here is the code for my table. I left it empty to make it easier to read. See anything here?

<table class="TableStyle_DescrTable" style="mc-table-style: url('../../../Resources/TableStyles ...

I think I discovered how to create Title Caps

text-transform: capitalize;

Now, on to discover how to create Sentence Caps.....

Well, that just might be the case. However, in Word, for example, you can select a sentence and then select Format | Change Case and choose Sentence case, Lowercase, Uppercase, Title case, or Toggle case. I was hoping with the power of CSS, that I could somehow do the same thing with a style property.
