If you want to change the icon for all favorites, you must replace the default one with your modified version or everytime you generate a build your image will be ...

Re: Flare v4

In a demo I just attended, Mike Hamilton (VP Product Management) said due to some "issues," he expects around September. Might be a bit early, though it could also be a bit later.

Re: Can't find the Styles window

However when I hit F12 or V iew/Style window nothing happens.
My keyboard has a "Mode" button that when pushed disables the F keys. I have accidently pressed this button while cleaning my keyboard, and poof no more Style Window when I try opening that pane. It's worth taking a look to see if you ...

My developers have no problems with Webhelp. However, if your developers find HTML help easier for them, than that is what you should go with.

Hi Susan, Fortunately, we are not limited to just HTML help output from Flare for CSH. I generate WebHelp with Context-Sensitive topics.

Hope that helps!

I believe Ramon is referencing "Windows Explorer." However, I must mention an exception. If you are using Subversion as Source Control, your list may, or more likely may Not, sort alphabetically.

Re: Context sensitive Help: Alias.xml file empty

HI, I have read every existing post that I can find, but am still stumped.

I have created an alias file and a header file, but when I compile the Help system, the Alias.xml file in Output/Data is almost empty. It contains only the following:

Re: Split A Project?

But now I see there is a whole section that I don't need in my project. I want to keep it, in case we want to develop it further or re-introduce it later, but for now, I don't want it visible, don't want it built into the output, and don't want to see any messages in the log related to it. Is there ...

I have 6-8 Snippets that include images that are in hundreds of topics without any problem. I'd be interested in knowing what caused your problem as I would like to avoid this issue.

Re: WebHelp Skin Woes

The toolbar icons have disappeared and the logo that I inserted in place of the MadCap logo also doesn't appear.
Did you enter or modify an OnClick script? From hard won experience, I learned that scripts in the Onclick must be properly structured or the icons on the toolbar vanish (this behavior ...

Re: Flare 3.1 fails to install in Parallels

(I'm following up on my post in this thread on 3/11)

Now I'm receiving the "trouble accessing the network" message, which apparently means that Flare can't get to the Madcap server to verify the licensing. (And yes, Flare is identified as a network exception.)
I run Flare on a machine without an ...

Re: Pasting from MS Word

If possible, I try to avoid pasting in from MS Word into any application. Along with the text I want, Word brings in a lot of "stuff" that all too often creates havoc, and then needs to be fixed.

If you want to see an example, create a hyperlink in a blank Word document (http://www.a.com), save it ...

Paul is correct in that good resource guides are extremely helpful.
Two of the best are:
