Hi Dave
Thanks for your reply. As you, I have noticed that compile time does depend on what else you are doing on the PC (CPU usage).
I have understood that the GDI option does not affect compilation time but I was not able to find it in View | Show ( :? ). I am using Flare v4 (and not v4.1) to ...

Hi there
Yes, there is. In your Skin, go to HTML Help Setup and uncheck the Display toolbar in each topic option in the Misc Options section. Your HTML Help file will not have the WebHelp toolbar displayed in any of its topics.
Hope this helps.

Hi Lisa
Thanks for your input. I understand that snippets and master pages are not really analogous (really, as I had snippets inserted into every topic, I should rather use a master page for that) and I understand now why compilation time is the same whether I use one or the other as these have ...

Hello everyone
I have read a few topics on how to improve compilation time on Flare v4 and have been doing some testing on one of my projects.
As suggested in these forums, I have disabled IntelliSense (I do not seem to be able to re-enable it though as the option to re-enable it is always grayed ...

Happy New Year everyone
I am using a WebHelp toolbar for my HTML Help output and would like to have captions for my buttons.
I would like to know if it is possible to customise the label property (in the Skin, under Styles) so that the label can be used as a caption for every button. I have tried ...

Hi Lisa
Thank you for your post.
I mainly test on IE7. Given what you have explained, I think I am going to have 2 or 3 different classes for popup windows as I have as many very different sorts of content so I can optimise mc-popup-width and mc-popup-height for each.
Thanks again

Hello everyone
I have read a few topics on customising the size of popup windows on this forum but was not able to find what I am after.
I have some popup windows (no images in them, only plain text or tables) called by a.Popup [when hyperlinking, I specified the target of popup window and a style ...

Hi there
Just to thank you for your tip.
I added your script to our javascript and it works fine. No more popups with a WebHelp toolbar!

Hi Lisa and i-tietz
Just to let you know that I have tried different things and that the empty space above the bullet image seems to do the trick .
However, I do not seem to be able to vary the space between the bullet and the text (marker-offset does not seem to do anything).
Thanks,

Hi Lisa
Thought about what you suggested but I am using relative font sizes.
I will produce different sizes for my bullet images and see if one particular one works better than the others.
Thank you.

Hi Steve
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have tried setting the vertical align property to baseline, bottom or text-bottom without success.
My custom bullets are small (8x8 px) and each bullet is aligned on the right-bottom corner of the image.
I will try a few other things...

Hello everyone
I am setting up unordered lists and find that the bullets (I am using custom images for these) are always a bit higher than the text. Is there a setting in the Stylesheet that would align the bullet images with the text?

Also I thought that marker-offset (that can be found ...

Hi Dave
Thank you, your first suggestion did the trick (must have been about the only thing I had not tried )

Morning!
A bit of a silly quesiton today.... :shock:
I have been playing with Flare 4 to assess it (currently working on Flare 3.1) and I cannot find how to dock both the Project Organizer and the Content Explorer to the left pane (50%-50%). I did not notice that the AutoSave Window Layout option ...

Hi Pete
Thank you for your comments and input. I will have a look at the Microsoft Help documentation.

Hi Pete
Thanks for your valuable contribution. So do most link types in a HTML Help File use the same HTML ActiveX control?
It is just that I thought it would not happen that often and the three of us (in my team) got this issue so I am a bit worried when these files "hit" our customers.

Hello everyone,
I am back with my favourite subject :oops: .
I have concept links in some slave projects that do not work when these slave projects are accessed via the TOC of the merged master project. I get the following message:
Concept_Links_msg.gif
I have implemented a concept keyword in the ...

Hi Pete
Thanks again for your valuable help and for directing me towards Keytools (great tool!).
I have had a play with it but unfortunately I get a cannot open file message when trying to examine my CHMs (the ones that I cannot open in Flare once I compile them).
I will contact MadCap about this.

Hi Pete
I always use Build | Clean Project to delete the contents of the output directory before doing a major build.

Hi Pete :lol:
There are no error messages at all (I cannot save the log because there are no errors).

However, there is something weird that I have just noticed, the compression INCREASED (????) the file, which explains why it is suddenly become nearly twice its usual size. For the projects that ...

Hello everyone
Not sure this is a Flare-related question but I am having trouble viweing some new compiled files since I upgraded to Flare v3.1 earlier on this week (I know I am a bit behind but we have just started testing v4 at the moment. I have Flare v4 on my PC as well, which I installed last ...

Hi Tom
I am afraid I cannot be of more help. I had a similar issue with some text snippets with conditions and submitted it as a bug with MadCap support. No solution was found re: this issue (I was told that some of my topics were a bit large and that my project was complex). It is interesting that ...

Hi Andrew
Could you tell us which Flare version you are using? I definitely do not have this issue.
BTW, thanks for your input on my .NET error message .

Hi Tom
Do all of the topics where you have placed the snippet share the same path relatively the the snippet?

Hi Jodie
Just an update on this as we had a similar issue.
This does not work for us either (displaying an external topic in a popup window, that is. If you specify to display the link in the same window, it works fine).
We submitted this as a bug to MadCap support and had the confirmation that ...
