Your stylesheet, in the p area, just like you would edit any other styles.

don't worry about it. i *wish* flare gave out statistics, but i think we'll have to wait for flare 4 for any hint of that. (?)

<a href="mailto:google@google.com?subject=Comments from MailTo Syntax Page">

this is just standard html.

http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html

don't worry about it. i've gotten a lot of lifesaving help here too!

It should be the same as making a website come up, except instead of http://www.google.com you put mailto:google@google.com to open in a user's default mail software.

I'd probably open the project in Windows Explorer and select all the topics. There's a count at the bottom of the Windows Explorer window.

Analyzer probably will tell you the number of topics you have.

In the stylesheet under DIV - GlossaryPageDefinition, GlossaryPageEntry, GlossaryPageHeading, GlossaryPageTerm

And no, that's that the first place I would look either.

How about a "make blurry in selected area" option?

i don't know if it's possible (since i haven't tried this div), but can you float the image left?

Can you change the padding to move all the text over to the right? How is "Warning" moved over?

I think this is closer to what you're looking for:

Are you talking about a KB article about custom bullets?

Paste it into Paint or Photoshop or something like that so you can save it as a .jpg or .png or whatever. then open that in Capture.

Honestly, i'm not a huge fan of Capture, although sometimes it is good enough for what i need to do and not too complicated. other times, it just doesn't have enough ...

If you don't *have* to use Capture, you can get tool tips just by pressing Print Screen (on your keyboard).

yes, i put them in the <div> category.

Here are some forum topics that helped me.

I also meant to say the the MMoS is good if your users are familiar with other Microsoft applications. If your users know Mac or Linux or Unix or something else, you'd want to use those terms.

And when you're seeing a GUI that isn't "normal" or intuitive, at least you have a big name like Microsoft ...

I second the Microsoft Manual of Style. There are free PDF versions of it online too.

1. Open the Skin editor.
2. On the HTML Help Setup tab, click TOC Options.
3. Select Single Click to Open Books.
4. Click OK.
5. Save the skin (sometimes you have click out of the edited spot for the change to apply first).

Thanks! I was editing tocproxy instead of minitocproxy, so now my problem is fixed after i adjusted the correct style!

I think I'll submit this as a bug, though, because lines shouldn't display by default.

How do I get the line above my mini toc (below In This Chapter) to go away? (The mini TOC proxy is in each chapter. The breadcrumbs proxy is in the master page, with a line there on purpose.) Here are my styles:

div.mcminitoclink
{
display: list-item;
list-style-image: url('../Images/book_open ...

Yeah, I was going to suggest the Publish option. I use it to put just my output files in a specific network folder. It's a good option because I can generate as many times as I want (to see changes or fix problems I find) before it is viewable by anyone other than me and included in a software build.

RoboHelp is weird [most of the time]. I'm glad it works now.

I would probably make a PDF of the whole thing and separate it after you're done. As long as the main topics all start on new pages (which is configurable in Flare I think), you shouldn't have a problem. With Adobe Acrobat Professional (maybe other PDF software too?), it is really easy to split up a ...

can you just recreate the topic and see if that works?

1. create a new blank topic
2. copy all the old content into the new topic
3. delete the old topic. do not remove links.
4. rename the new topic to the same name as the old one. the links to this topic should all work if the name is exactly the ...
