You know how you can easily set HTML Help TOC Options to show folders (instead of books) with plus/minus signs and lines between items? Is there any easy way to do this for WebHelp? Personally, I like the books. Unfortunately, my department does not, and I cannot figure out an easy way to do this ...

I was actually looking for something else when I came across this, which was something else I was wondering about. Thanks for posting the solution from Tech Support. However, I also think this should be something customizable through the skin editor. In our case, we want to have the same skin for ...

Can anyone tell me how I can add a flush-right image on the same line as the breadcrumbs proxy in my master page?

Basically, we want to add the product logo to the far right of the breadcrumbs proxy, and then the company logo in the bottom left corner of the master page footer, separated from the ...

Is there any way to wrap text in the online (WebHelp) TOC, rather than having it stretch so far past the navigation pane limits that it creates a bottom scroll bar?

Apparently, the OpenType font issue has to do with a bug in the .net framework. Here's what I received from MadCap after I posted my feature enhancement request:

Because Flare is built on the .Net(2) framework, the support for open type fonts is very limited (bug in the .net framework).
When ...

Thanks, Dave! I would never have guessed this.

Okay, I started out using the Robin skin on MadCap's website because we liked most of the icons in it. However, once I manipulated the skin background colors, the icons are no longer transparent. So, I'm trying to find those icons so that I can make them transparent. I see the icon name in the Skin ...

Excellent resource - thanks!

Is there some way to change the opacity for a color? For example, if you have background gradient colors that you've selected in the skin editor, and you like those colors, but they're just a little too dark, is there some way to decrease the opacity by say 15 percent or whatever looks best?

Thanks ...

P.S. I did post a feature enhancement request to add support for OpenType fonts.

[quote="LTinker68"]Not sure what you mean by assign it to the target. If the stylesheet and skin have the font-family set to Avenir, Arial, Verdana, then Flare will use Avenir first if it finds it on the machine where the project resides and where you're building the output from. The only exception ...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I modified the stylesheet in an editor to include Avenir in the font family (followed by Arial, followed by Verdana) since that seemed like the simplest solution. But, I'm a little confused as to how this will work if I want to define a font set for something. For ...

:?: Our company has selected Avenir for our corporate standard font. I have this font family installed on my computer and have been tasked with setting this as the primary font family for our online help stylesheet. However, it is not showing up in the list of Installed Families in the Font Family ...

\"A soft return wouldn't work because then I [b]could [/b]format each paragraph as needed (i.e., bullets). \"

Should have said, \"... [b]couldn't [/b]format each paragraph...\".

Thanks, Kevin and Steve. I started creating the snippets yesterday, but didn't have time to post here till now. The snippets aren't the cleanest way of handling this IMHO, but they're suiting our purpose for now. Besides, I'm the only one who has the headache of creating them. 8) All the other ...

This is similar to the \"Calling attention to notes, ...\" post, but that doesn't quite address my need. Is there any way I can have a standard table that I can use repeatedly that includes the standard text I need? For example, I'd like to have a standard Item/Description table with those headings ...
