I use CHM (HTML) output.

I have a glossary created in Flare's Glossary Editor.

The output has a glossary book in the table of contents.

I want to make the use of the glossary more user friendly.

Is it possible to change the behavior of the glossary so that clicking a term in the contents ...

I found the answer.

@Nita Beck

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I am working on using a nonscrolling region.

Hopefully my work will go well.

Thanks again.

I have two master page files (.flmsp). When I attempt to edit the style class, change the p style for example, the CSS opens. Each .flmsp file has a different CSS associated with it.

How do I change the CSS associated with a master page? I would like to apply a specific CSS to a specific master ...

Is it possible to anchor a header in a CHM file that always stays visible when scrolling the content?

The attached picture shows a header that I have added with a master page.

I would like the header (logo and background) to remain visible when the page is scrolled.

Is this possible?

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I have posted for MadCap often. I didn't distinguish between the two different forums. I will try not to let it happen again.

@Nita Beck

Thanks for the information about switching between the responsive and non-responsive versions of ...

@MadCap

I opened the Flare Online Help for v. 10 from http://www.madcapsoftware.com/support/.

I was hoping to find an easier to use Help file than the Help file opened from within the interface.

The file that I opened is lacking in a number of areas related to usability.

When opened in a browser ...

@Dave Lee

Thanks for your suggestion.

I was able to change the skin file in an editor and remove the unwanted images.

However, I must say having to mess around in "code" like that in the editor is scary. Hopefully, a better approach will be developed for a future release.

Thanks again for ...

I have a skin designed for HTML5.

I have defined a logo to be used for the skin in the HTMl5 Skin Editor, Styles, Logo, Background options.

In testing the results for the logo, I used several files until I obtained the desired results.

Now I have several image files that are associated with the ...

@kwag_myers

YESSSSS!

Thank you for staying with this post.

The problem is solved. I never thought about adding a new table.

I just tested the following to apply changes also.

I think, you can reset the table style on an existing table to apply the change. Right-click the table block, point at ...

@Dave Lee

First, thanks for taking time to help. Some of your other posts have been a great help in developing the list formatting that I now have.

I am so close to the actual format that I want yet so FAR away.

The format I trying for is shown in the attached picture.

It is worth noting that I ...

@kwag_myers

I am feeling like your Curly Howard quote – I am trying to think but nothing HAPPENS.

I understand making the changes in the Master Stylesheet. I did so, and I see the behavior.

I don't want the changes to be applied to all tables.

I created a class. I can assign the class to a ...

Here's hoping someone can help.

I have a table style sheet designed to apply specifics requirements to tables.

I want to add indentation to a table. For example, I would like to indent a table 20 px left to align with an indented paragraph.

I have tried all the options in the TableStye Editor ...

@kwag_myers

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, I am a WYSIWYG writer. I don't understand writing CSS code, so working in the code is not productive; it's a struggle.

I will just use the symbols I have. I was hoping to only have to change the symbol name, for example, disc to en dash. But ...

@kwag_myers

Thanks for taking time to reply.

I am wondering if your approach might answer my questions. Before I start testing, could you review the following and let me know what you think?

I am working on a multilevel list. I am not using auto-number-formatting.

The list style code that I have ...

I am working on a multilevel bulleted list.

In the CSS, I see the list-style-types disc, square, and circle.

Example:
list-style-type: square;

The behavior of these characters is unique to say the least. The disc and circle are too small for my design.

Can someone tell me what other characters ...

@Dave Lee

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried binding within Flare, and your approach seems to also produce the desired results.

Thanks for the taking the time to reply.

@Msquared

Can you spare some time for one more question?

I have tried your approach, and I think it will accomplish my goals.

Do you see anything wrong with my approach of adding the name.flprj to source control as noted below? The approach seems to be working, but I thought you might see a ...

@Msquared

Thanks for the idea. I just might be able to work with this. I will have to be selective when I first add the project to SourceSafe, but I think subsequent check ins/outs will only affect what I added initially (added files not included the temp files).

Thanks again.

@SteveS

Before I continue, let me say that I value and appreciate all the help I receive in the forum.

I guess my comments did sound a bit harsh, and if anyone is offended, I apologize.

Now for some more detail that might help you understand my frustration.

I am converting a number of projects ...

@atomdocs

Thanks for the link to the article.

I do have a system adminstrator that will help.

I will explore the possibilities.

Thanks again.

@atomdocs

Thanks for taking time to help!

Now it sounds as if the temp files shouldn't be deleted.

My understanding of all the functions of Microsoft SourceSafe is limited to a degree.

Can you help me by explaining how to exclude the files/folders form SourceSafe, i.e., add the files/folders to ...

@Msquared,

I use Microsoft Source Safe. I will check with someone who knows more about Source Safe than I to see if an approach similar to yours would work.

Thanks again.

@SteveS

@ Msquared

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate your help.

It's good to know that I can clean the project manually and remove the temp files.

However, my question is actually, can the files be cleaned automatically?

I think the files should be removed automatically after a ...

Is there a way to eliminate the saving of temporary files automatically.

Using Clean Project is not an option for reasons to lengthy to explain here.

After compiling a project, I see a number of files in C:ProjectName\Output\cwilson\TEMPORARY\ImageRightCHM.

I suspect there also temporary files ...
