With Capture open, if you press Ctrl+Shift+R (capture region), you will get a "cross-hairs" selection box to drag around the button you want to capture. (search for Capturing a Region in the Capture help)

You could also use the Rectangle Mode button on the Capture Editor tool bar to crop an image ...

If you have XP (I'm a little confused by all the different OS you were talking about), to check for .NET, click Start > Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs. On that list, you should see Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and possibly Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (since your computer is new). My ...

i'm glad we figured it out.

Right-click on the picture and select Edit Picture. Then change/browse for the file name.

would it be horrible to just go through all the "imported" topics and manually update the links?

i can't think of anything else right now other than the images aren't in the right folder. are all your images in the content\..user guide\resources\images folder? where were they in the old/original ...

do your paths usually look like that? i don't think there should be any folders between CONTENT and RESOURCES.

And you're sure they're in Content\Resources\Images? I can't seem to duplicate the problem (it works every time for me if i combine projects).

Maybe the cold and the rain are throwing you off

Open up the folders for the project in Windows Explorer (not in Flare) and just select the ones you want to copy, do ctrl+c (or Edit > Copy), and the ctrl+v (edit > paste) in the "new" folder.

Can't you just copy the files from one project into the other (in Windows Explorer)? Just take any files you want (topics, TOCs, etc) and make sure you put them in the right place (like a TOC file should go in Project>TOCs).

Sorry. I think I read your post wrong.
I don't export to FrameMaker, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Good luck!

I'll be at the STC Summit. Maybe MadCap will have a preview of Flare 4 there? I've never been to the conference before but I'm hoping to learn a lot!

if you click F12, the Style list will open in a window on the side of your screen (so you won't need to use the drop-down list). that way, your paragraph styles will be visible most of the time, and will automatically change to list styles when you're using lists.

Are you adjusting any of the import options (like the one about empty topics)?

I notice another error on the site you posted - the Loading image on the Index tab doesn't load all the way (which I think is another javascript error). I had something like this and I just had to re-generate my project and it somehow fixed itself.

(I'm viewing it on Firefox)

I don't think it's possible, but you can import Word documents into Flare and keep the text in a table.

I think I may have submitted a feature request for copy/pasting tables and text-to-table formatting a while ago, but it doesn't hurt for someone else to do the same.

Can this topic help? There are a few reasons why you may be having a problem.

When you are applying topic-level conditions, are you doing it in the Content Explorer or the TOC? TOC conditions don't really remove the topics from the output.

I don't think "web-safe" colors are an issue anymore, so I wouldn't worry about it (unless specific colors are very important to you).

I know you can make the Accordion frame display on the bottom (Skins, WebHelp Setup Tab) and you can add a Footer to the content of your pages with a Master Page, but I'm not sure if you can add another frame (without post-processing tweaking).

What are you trying to accomplish?

When you created the new topic, did you choose the template on this screen?
In my MyTemplates folder on my C: drive, QNewTopic.htm is the only file in there (that I created and put there).

I think you're doing fine. There's no better way to learn than to ask questions.

Even after a year of using Flare, I still love when I get things to work for the first time! (see my 2 posts about sorting the File List by condition)

So you got it? You probably had a stylesheet with that name already in your project. One of them just has to be renamed because you can't have two files with the same name.
