I have deleted the one that is not indicated as my Master Stylesheet.
Double-check that your target file is pointing to the remaining stylesheet file. You'd think that if there was only one stylesheet in the project that it would default to that one, but it doesn't, even if it's set to default ...

It's actually been awhile since I've had to set up a mini-TOC, but a couple of things come to mind. First, did you specify the number of levels deep that you want to go in the proxy? I believe the default is 1, but check to make sure that you didn't inadvertently set it to 0. Second, when you say it ...

Generally you don't need to specify the widths or heights for images unless you're trying to control how much space they take on the screen. The most I'll do is set a max-width in the print medium to constrain all images to the width of my print page (e.g., set max-width: 6.5in). I don't constrain ...

My view settings are: Layout (Print) - (Medium Print) - Page Layout
Do you have more than one stylesheet in your project? If so, you need to know that view settings are based on which target is specified as the Master Target. So if the target used to make your one-sheet label isn't the Master ...

Or .Barcode (with a preceding period) if you want it to be a generic class.

Actually, I'm surprised it's tied to the machine name. The MAC address would be better, since that stays the same even when the computer is renamed.

I will look into how well I can work with the split screen enabled (kind of like the old days of WordPerfect and its wonderful code view function?).
Or like split code view in Dreamweaver and I think Visual Studio might have that, too. You can also drag the split, so if you need to see more or ...

Option 3 is to create a new span class with word-wrap set to nowrap. The pluses to that method is that you can put the span class around the whole block of text and still be able to do spell check on it, and you can change the value of that attribute between online output and print output, if you ...

There is an rudimentary undo feature but that memory buffer is lost when you switch between the Text editor and the XML editor.

When you say switch back and forth between the Text Editor and the XML Editor, do you mean opening the file in one then opening it in the other? Or do you mean you have ...

But in this case, the column do have a defined width . . . Or am I missing something?
Oh, sorry, missed that you were referring to the original code, which had 100% table width and every column defined.

Yes, you never want to specify a table width and define the width of every column. That ...

1. Open HTML5\Skins\Default\Stylesheets\Styles.css
Is that in the output folder or in the Flare program files folder? If it's the former, then that stylesheet will be recreated every time you build the output, so you'd have to redo that modification every time, or overwrite the file with a ...

THIS WORKED!! Why oh why? They are right next to each other in the css! There is no reason in the world why one works and the other doesn't. With the commented out sections, they are identical.
Not quite -- one has a padding-right of 0 and one has a padding-right of 5px.

As for the checker ...

What happens if you take the style="width: 100%;" bit out ...
The problem would still exist. If the columns don't have a defined width, then they'll take as much space as needed to show the content in that cell. If there is a convenient place to word wrap the content and another cell in the table ...

I wasn't talking about in your TOC file. I was talking about in the page layout you have associated with the topic that contains the tocProxy. If you manually added the text "Contents" or whatever in a decoration or header frame in that page layout, and you used the h1 tag for it, then that is what ...

Check your base img tag and complex selectors (if you have any related to images) in the stylesheet to see if you've defined any margin or padding values.

It happens that way because each row is its own table, so each table is following its internal rules for the content contained within that table. Tables only care about their content, not content of other tables in the same topic. If you need to keep the tables separate, then you need to specify the ...

Flare doesn't supply the TOC title in print outputs. If you don't see the title in your topic that's containing the tocProxy, then my guess is that you hard-coded the text in the page layout your TOC topic is pointing to, and you used the h1 tag in that page layout. So you'd still need to create the ...

I wonder if it's getting confused because the first text in the cell isn't in a containing tag like the other content. Or rather, it's at the root of the <td> tag, but the others are in paragraphs or lists. Try putting a <p> tag around the "Select an international domicile" paragraph at the top of ...

Create a new class of h1 (e.g., h1.TOCheading) and set its mc-auto-number-format to none. Or you could try an empty space. If you try none, then you'll have to add that manually to the stylesheet using the Internal Text Editor, because "none" isn't a valid option when doing it through the Stylesheet ...

No, PDF output can't do that. You have two options:

Option 1: You determine where the image needs to break and create two images, one for both sides of the page break.

Option 2: You create a page layout sized for a larger page, such as 8.5 x 14 or 11 x 17, and apply that page layout to just the ...

Oh, right, sorry. Had the right attribute but the wrong tag. Thanks, Dave.

Oh, sorry, I thought you said it was another group in your same company.

I believe Flare has an option for import RoboHelp. I don't have Flare open at the moment to check, so I don't remember if it's a RoboHelp project or the output from a RoboHelp project (i.e., a bunch of web pages). If they don ...

Links are links, regardless of the application used to create them. As long as the location the link is pointing to isn't changed, then there's no problem. If they decide to change their destination locations with every build (e.g., change the file path from .../v6/... to .../v7/...), then you'll ...

In the topic stylesheet, in the print medium, set p.TOC2, p.TOC3, etc., to have mc-heading-level = 0. For print outputs, only those TOC styles that have an mc-heading-level > 0 will show up in the generated TOC in the print output.

Can you post the page code for that table cell that's showing the extra bullet?
