I'm curious - what Flare template did you use? When I have used the auto-generate option I so get "Table of Contents", so it might be set somewhere in the template.

Those files were used by Adobe RH to manage language settings, sorting order, stop words, that sort of thing - you don't need them in Flare (it uses its own).
So you can delete them, but first use the link viewer to see if they are referenced in any other topics (and remove those references as well).

The quick answer is no, you can't prevent the Skins, Data, or Resources folders from appearing.
However, if you only need /Content, why don't you only copy that folder to your publish location?
I build projects to a local output folder that "non-Flare" users would never be able to see so it doesn't ...

Having a guess here.
Is it possible they have been disabled? Sometimes Word decides to do that - you have to go into Options and re-enable those add-ins.
For example, my adobe PDF plug-in regularly gets randomly turned off
- I choose File Options > Add-ins and scroll to the Disabled list.

You can probably delete the javascript files, but it depends on whether they are custom scripts for your project, or the general Robohelp (RH) ones. It has been a few years since I upgraded and things could have changed. RH script files began with ehlp*.js - these can be removed, but you also need ...

Have a look at ChoccieMuffin's signature line for links to reporting bugs and feature requests. You can also find the link on the Help tab in Flare - at the end is Report a bug.

Hey - thanks for sharing this - I really like the look of your help. Gives the rest of us some ideas to play around with.

Following on from the above, you can create the entries for the ALIAS file in another column.

The alias file (.FLALI) is XML starting with <catapult> type nodes. I usually create one on Flare with a dummy entry, then use the same spreadsheet as above to create the alias link lines and copy/paste ...

I use Excel and the file list to generate map IDs and alias files using the following steps. Basically, I get a list of the files using file list, then use Excel to generate mapIDs and build the data for the header and alias files. I then just copy the data from the generated columns and paste them ...

There is an option on the Advanced tab of the target to "Do not use Content folder ..."
Is it possible that checkbox has been set?

If you open up the TOC file, you can change the view to Grid rather than Tree view. It is then very easy to double-click to open the next file in the toc. And you can also float the toc to a separate screen so that you can always view it.
I tend to use the File List (View ribbon tab) instead as I ...

It's been a while since I converted from Robohelp, but I don't think much has changed.
Yes, you have to recreate your page layouts and master pages.
The styles should come through into a CSS file. If you are getting spans, that might be the way the source code was set in RH.

In general, you should ...

Sorry - I missed that. Not sure I can help.

My process is almost the same - the difference is that my condition is called "zz_obsolete".

I would use global project linking, and just import the skin files from your other project.

A topic can be set to not searchable in its properties.
Right click on the file and choose Properties and click the Topic Properties tab.
There is a Searchable check box down near the bottom of the tab.
You can also see this value using the File List it you want to check all files at once.

Yes, I've been filing bug reports, and I think the one you are referring to is one of mine.
After a change, something stopped working in the import process, and I reported that, and then they put in a fix to get back to where we started, so no, you probably won't see a change.

I still have major ...

I don't think you are missing anything - reviewing is still quite manual. We use Word as part of our review process and then manually bring in the changes we want. Since I want to check any changes, I don't have a problem with this process.

When you import a Word document it puts the generated ...

Someone else posted comments about slow Flare and has suggested turning off the Analyzer options.
See: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27091

You can look in the knowledge base - release notes article (can usually find it in the most recent articles section) - has links at the bottom.

Check that you have a primary target set.
I got some similar errors (but can't remember the exact wording) after I opened some zipped versions of projects and no primary target was set. Fixed the problem by selecting one target to be primary ...

This is an old issue. Have a look at the following posts:

• viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14533
• viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8919

Briefly - check your p.TOC styles and look at the width and the mc-leader-offset value.

One possibility is to export your required target to a new Flare project, and send that to the vendors. This way, you keep any savings you have by using variables, snippets and general single sourcing.
Look on the Project tab for the Export section.

It looks like you have flipped the switch for responsive display in the skin.
You can clear this by checking the Skin > Setup tab and clearing "Enable responsive output".
You can change some of the fonts and colours in the responsive pane, but others have had problems with setting the size.

You need to use the alias editor - you can look that up in the help for more details.
Basically, you go to the Project Organizer > Advanced, and find the CSH files, and double-click (or create) an alias file, where you can do the mapping.
