Check first to see if any of the current instances of the word you want formatted like this already have formatting applied. You might end up with a span wrapped around another span.

I thought of that. I know for a fact that some ...

If you delete the analyzer folder and then rescan it, it should give the correct results.

I'm having a similar problem. Analyzer is telling me that I have 109 broken links in my project, but I've checked and they're NOT broken. The link that Analyzer shows as broken is not what the link is in the ...

It seems that I lucked out a bit though, because it appears that a bookmark can't be accessed across topics.

Actually, you can access bookmarks across topics. In the Insert Cross-Reference dialog, once you select the topic you want to link to, you can select the bookmark within that topic. I do ...

I realize that this doesn't really address the behavior you're seeing, but as a workaround, you could insert bookmarks in the locations you want to link to. Then you can point your cross-references to those bookmarks.

I'm the sole writer/editor here, so someone else hosing this up isn't a worry. But your point is taken. I've added your suggestion to my notebook and I'll be evaluating what I need to do to my CSS.

Bottom line on this episode: I don't think this is something I should have to worry about at all ...

Paul,
That might have worked, but I already made the necessary changes. (It wasn't that many topics.)

Just out of curiosity, if you change the code order to the following, does it help?
<a name="ChapterTopic"></a><h2 class="Heading2">Chapter Topic</h2>

Haven't tried it, and I'm not sure I will. For my project, where I have both bookmarks and index entries in all of the affected topics, it's ...

I turn off underlining for all <a> elements in my print styles. My printed targets aren't web pages, so they shouldn't look like web pages, in my opinion.

If that works for you, great.

On the other hand, even a "print" target can be viewed online, and can have links (e.g. PDFs). In that case, I ...

The sample output has the same incorrect underlining.

This test project uses the same CSS as my main projects.

If I leave the bookmark out, there's no underline. If I insert something in front of the bookmark, like an index entry, there's no underline.

I don't select any text when creating the bookmark; I just put the insertion point at the front of the heading and press Ctrl+Shift+K (or click Insert >> Bookmark).

Here's what a bookmark looks like in the raw text of a sample topic I created to test this:

<h2 class="Heading2"><a name ...

Is anybody else going to DocTrain East in Burlington, Massachusetts, this week?

I know from the program that Mike Hamilton will be there; how many others from MadCap?

Figured it out. I have a bookmark and my index entries at the top of each topic, at the beginning of the heading line. For reasons lost in the mists of history, I had put the bookmark first, followed by the index entries, at the beginning of the chapter topics. However, for the part topics (the ...

I'm using autonumbering for sections and chapters. The Auto-number format for the section heading style looks like "Part {secnum}: " For the chapter style it's "Chapter {chapnum}: "

When I output to Word, my section headings are fine, but in the chapter headings, the word "Chapter", the number ...

Dan,
Did you change the background color to something else, or remove that entry completely?

In page layout, if I add an image frame, the image appears for an instant and then disappears. The frame stays, but does not display the image, and it is not displayed on the generated output. If I put the frame over the body frame, the frame covers up that part of the body on the output, but with ...

Hmmmm.

That basic process is what I've tried doing, but I've been reducing the frame size, not increasing it. I'll have to play with this some more.

Bob,
That works when you're resizing an image in a topic file (.htm), but sadly, it doesn't when you're working with an image frame in a page layout (.flpgl).

I can click and drag to resize, and the image resizes, but it doesn't maintain the aspect ratio. I have to do my best to guess when I have ...

And the grid measurements are in pixels, too.

I'm no print expert; do printers measure things on pages in pixels?

I'm trying to create a title page layout that includes a couple of images. When I try to resize the image frames by clicking and dragging, I can't find how to force them to retain their X and Y proportions. (In Word, you do this by holding the CTRL button while you drag.) And if I resize the frame ...

For now, we're going to build two different help systems. Users will see a help button in the upper-right corner of the screen, which will launch User help. Admins will also see that button, but they'll also have a link to Admin help that appears only for them.

Now that I'm building WebHelp with Flare 4, ghostly horizontal and vertical scroll bars are appearing in all of the topics. If you resize the topic so you actually need to scroll, real scroll bars appear, but the ghost ones are still there.

Here's a screenshot:

We're working on an application built in SharePoint, and would like to be able to show different topics to people who log in as Admininstrator, vs. all the rest of the site users. For example, an Admin is able to do more things on Page A than a User; therefore, the Page A help topic displayed to the ...

Not deliberately.

It's there now.
