I have my p class indent .3 inch to create some separation from the Headings. Basically I like the look of a side head, but I don't want to use up the space that a true side head would need.

When I use the local formatting to create a numbered list or bullet list, the indent is not carried over ...

I had tried that and it didn't go away. I just closed and reopened the project and it is back in normal mode. Maybe that's what it was but you need to restart.

Anyway, problem solved for now.

Thanks

I just entered some sort of mode where when I place the cursor in the WYSIWYG there is a grey box over one letter. When I type, it overwrites the existing text. I cannot get the cursor in between two words to just add text. I have no idea how it got this way or how to get out of it.

Any help ...

I meant the tools menus in Capture that you use to add callouts and other objects is greyed out. The actual screen shot is fine.

i am trying to add callouts to an image, but the menus with objects that you can add to an image are greyed out.

any thoughts ?

Thanks

Does anyone know of an on-line resource that defines standard terms for various application elements, such as a window, a pane, a a panel, a dialog, etc.

Many thanks

If you have to translate your Help/User Guides, do you use the translated screen shots in the documentation or do you just use English screen shots for all versions ?

we are doing our first localized release for france, with a number of additional languages planned in the next few years. the ...

i got on the phone with Flare support and turns out my master page was pointing to the wrong style sheet. Doh !

as always Flare Support was there to help.

I went to the style sheet, breadcrumb proxy, and changed the "You are Here" to French, but when I generate the Help the text is not translated.

Am I missing a step ?

Thanks

ahh i like that approach. didn't think of going in the other direction.

thanks !

I'm in the process of converting my company from a Word/hardcopy model to a Help/on-line pdf model for our hardware documentation (software is already Help only).

Right now our help is called "Web Help", but that is really a misnomer as it is primarily accessed through the software UI (as well as ...

i don't think the code in the topic itself will shed any light.

it's something to do with the cell properties that is not allowing the row to expand vertically to accommodate wrapped text. seems like that should be the default behaviour.

i just realized that if i expand my browser width, some of the text that was overlapping appears fine, although long stings still overlap.

is there something in the style sheet or table properties that will cause the text to not wrap depending on the size of the browser window ?

thanks

hmmm. interesting

it is garbled in the WebHelp output, but in the print output it is fine.

I looked at the code and didn't see anything unusual. perhaps you can take a peek at the file I attached ....

Thanks

When I create a table using standard Flare styles (Basic table, td.body), it looks ok in the WYSIWYG but when i do a preview or generate output, the text in some cells is all smooshed together and garbled and some rows are mashed together. I tried tagging text as p but doesn't make a difference ...

My software developer isn't sure of the best practice to link to translated versions of the Web Help to our application.

Currently we only have an English version. I give him the entire output directory and he links to help.html.

We are working on a French version of the software/web help. The ...

If conditions aren't working, the first thing I'd check is in the target editor to ensure conditionalized content is excluded. You have to tag the content with conditions, and then you have to exclude certain conditions from a target.

You might think this happens automatically for the print/online ...

brilliant (and so intuitive)

thanks !

I have been battling this since I started using Flare and finally seeking help.

How do you re-tag a paragraph with a style in a different style "grouping".

For example, I have a table where most rows are tagged with the p style, but one row is tagged with td.Tablestyle.

If I go to the style drop ...
