hm...i forgot you were on 3.1. what happens if you just click "Tree View"? does it only have a drop-down?

lacastle

there is a button to toggle between tree and grid view in the TOC.
see this help topic - http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... =tree|Tree

Thanks Lisa.

Paul, yes I made those icons - I can send you the skin if you pm me your email address.

You should send the skin to madcap for their skin download page - https://www.madcapsoftware.com/downloads/flareskingallery.aspx

Ok, you will need Context Sensitive Help. See the link above for the madcap help information, or you can search the forums for Context Sensitive Help (CSH).

lacastle

Let me be more specific - we are wanting users to be able to click a link to pull up a specific page within the WebHelp interface.
Do you want Context Sensitive Help (click a link outside the webhelp to get to a page in the webhelp), or a regular hyperlink (link from one page to another)?

In your MasterPage, you would insert a table under your body proxy and put anything there you want to be included in every topic.

here's some information about footer table sizes -

I'm not sure what anchor tags are, but you can use bookmarks to link to specific places in your files. here is the flare help topic about bookmarks - http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... Topics.htm

I don't have this problem, but i also don't use the font selector for inline changes. i only select a font in the CSS, which is best practice for using CSS.
someone else may be able to tell you in reinstalling Flare will fix the font problem.

lacastle

have you tried controlling the hypenation in the <body> tag? (i don't have flare open right now to check, but body is always higher than every other tag you will use)

lacastle

do you have scroll bars displaying on some of the pages and not others? that will affect the display of your topic and margins. i don't know if that would give 3 different positions for the image, though.
have you tried adding the image to the masterpage instead of as a body>background image?

When I imported FrameMaker docs into Flare, i only mapped the high level (h1, h2, etc) styles and manually formatted everything else. i also had a lot of miscellaneous styles in FM, but i don't remember enough about FM to fix them/add them to the stylesheet. i had to read through everything to edit ...

lacastle

Most likely, the formatting applied in your CSS to ul or li are adding the weird margins. however, if you adjust the default ul/li styles, it will apply to every list in your project. you are better off making a class for the li with the appropriate margins and applying that to the text in your ...

Are you importing the RoboHelp project? The import process in Flare lets you map style names to bring the content into Flare.

lacastle

Make sure your changing the correct medium (default vs online vs print) in your stylesheet, and make sure your target is linked to that medium.

did you see this topic? - http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12223
i think it will only work for the glossary proxy though.

if you want to adjust the glossary pane, you'd have to do it in the skin, but i don't think adding letter separators is an option. maybe you could just make ...

Is your table big enough to the fit the whole group of words (with underscores)? maybe you just don't have enough space to fit it all, or maybe you should look at your table margins/borders and see if they are taking away space from the inside of your tables where the words would fit.

lacastle

i have never heard of this type of problem before. does it happen if you create another TOC and make that the primary TOC? maybe there is something corrupt in your TOC. you'll probably have to work directly with MadCap Support to see if your TOC is corrupt (or just make a new TOC if that works).

lacastle

It is possible that you could have the wrong medium or output type selected at the top of the topic? the default topic view will be whatever you have in your default/primary target. make sure the stylesheet changes you are making are in the print medium and that you are viewing the topic in print ...

lacastle

You can make a new paragraph style just for images that formats them exactly the way you want, and apply it when you insert an image.
here is a topic from the Flare help about adding lines in between lists - http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare7/Content/Lists/More_About_Lists/Adding_Notes_or ...

It should be for the whole project. Have you tried it and only the keywords are showing up?

lacastle

Is he getting this when he opens the .chm help? or is this context-sensitive help and he's opening individual files?

lacastle

If your Quick Start Guide has most of the same content as your manuals, it would make sense to leave them all in the same project and use conditions. (There are some good MadCap tutorials and webinars about using conditions.)
