... or can I just assume that my projects have no faults!

Nope, Analyzer tells you explicitly. I think. It finds heaps of errors in mine.

Ypu could try the time honoured reboot - and I know today's round of updates from MS includes patches for the dotNet framework.

I would try right-clicking ...

My mouse at work (at home so I can't give you a model number, but it is a MS product) has a zoom button, operated with a thumb click if you're right handed. Zoom (magnification) and zoom window size can be configured on the fly as well.

I find it really useful - its quicker than using the window's ...

Unfortunately I don't know why.

I guess there must be some technical limitation, given that it is such an obvious thing to do - particularly as you can merge the online flavours of help. It would be great to have though

Hi Petra,

Sorry, but my understanding is you can't create printed output from a merged project.

You can add a request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx. I've been meaning to lodge one and you'vee jogged my memory.

This leads me to another question:

Is there somewhere in the documentation where i can find out what is supported between different browsers and browser versions?

For example, someone mentioned that something in IE 6 and 7 look different as does Firefox.

Is there a listing of what is different ...

You should be right with 2003 - I've imported previously without any issus.

To be fair, I haven't had cross refernces in the Word document, but I think Word handles cross references similar to the way it handles indexing, so I can't see it being a problem.

I just tried an import from Word 2007 and my index terms were recreated as Flare index entries.

I think the main thing with Word imports is to check them thoroughly befaore you start editing. You can fine tune your import properties and reimport as necessary, but once you start editing you are more ...

Thanks for sharing, Margaret.

I know round tripping is a bit of a holy grail and to do it with something like Word is a real challange.

I don't know if you're going to look at Analyzer, but it's "duplicate styles" functionality may help with li_1 issue.

Glad you found a fix!

Sometimes, when the solution is not so obvious, closing and restarting Flare will fix "index out of bounds" type errors. Of course, if there's a physical reaqson for an out of bounds you'll have to fix that first.

There is a simple approach.

Use Conditional Tags - your "original" source can be tagged screen only.

The sort of thing you are assigning in the style sheet to print medium can be tagged print only.

The advantage of this approach is you can see clearly in the XML editor both types of output. The ...

...and now a "full" Propellor Head!

(Must be because you made your 50th post)

'Sfunny. Don't have that problem with TFS. Just get a message that Flare can't connect to Benji (our TFS server).

You could try having a backup copy of your project file with the source control connection text removed. (I'd back up the whole shooting match before trying it though). Check everything ...

It certainly hasn't appeared in any of my projects.

Is your project imported?

Oh, welcome back to the forums! (Belated, I know...)

From the topic heading I'm guessing you're using gifs?

When you say they're distorted, what do you mean? Is the image forced into a differently proportioned view?

I've seen this happen when you change the source image - try right clicking the ...

The only way I can think of doing what you describe is to have 2 images, your online version (600 wide) and printed (1800 wide). When you insert the images use a screen only conditional tag for the online and print only tag for the printed image.

Make sure you set the exclude print only conditions ...

Forgot to add "Welcome to the Forums!".

My suspicion is still TestTrack, maybe in conjunction with Flare. Are your Flare source files read only? (If source control is involved that may be an indication).

HTH

...and TestTrack Client, which run on my system, but keep the work on the network drive....Lew

Pardon my ignorance, but what is TestTrack?

It sounds as if something is competing for network bandwidth - I was going to ask if you were using source control and that can cause symptons like you ...

Which strong points does Vista have? It is bloated, slow, doesn't run a lot of software, is excessively expensive, is a resource hog, uses insane amounts of drive space, and after switching off eye candy and annoyances does exactly the same as XP...just by 1/3 slower. Oh, and the DRM and license ...

With a little further testing it doesn't seem to work in XP at all. Quite puzzling...

I guess this is one of Microsoft's reasons for upgrading to Vista? o.o?

Much as enjoy Vista :? (Seriously, though, it does have some strong points) I can tell you it doesn't work under Vista, either.

I have a ...

Did you try the following:

Word 2000? Sheesh

I'm guessing you had something you've deleted linked using concept keywords.

Open the concept explorer and see if that sheds some light on the subject.

I haven't played with the feature yet, but I remember reading about some new feature for setting up print styles for tables.

I'm seeing the "same" table represented differently depending on the preceeding tags, which I think Gary is seeing as well.

<rant>If there's one thing I hate, it's an ...

Hi Gary,

Backs up what I'm just looking at (and cursing under my breath at...). Word doesn't play nicely with Flare tables.

I suggest you add a bug report, url: http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/subm ... lare&v=3.1
