MadCap Software Forums

In the Flare 6 help itself, at the bottom of each topic, there is a mini-TOC to the left and the Madcap company information to the right (also aligned to the right). I am trying to emulate that layout. I can get the min-TOC to work, and I've created a snippet with the company information, but I can ...

Many hours later ...

The style case was associated with the footnote -- but the style sheet hadn't been explicitly associated with the print output for the target. I have only one style sheet and it always seemed to be the "Default" before (though its name is Styles.css). This time, I had to make ...

There is, and I have changed the settings multiple times. It doesn't matter, as no style case is applied to the output. It defaults to "Normal."

I have confirmed that the style case is associated with the footnote.

I've tried adding a regular footnote (one not generated by the presence of a glossary term) and I'm seeing the same behavior. The footnote class is associated but when the Word output is generated, no styles are applied.

How can I format a footnote?

I think this works differently now that I'm compiling in V4 ...

My glossary terms are being shown as footnotes. The "Printed Output" tab offers controls for expanding text and for pop-up text but not for glossary items converted to text. Perhaps glossary items are considered pop-ups, as the ...

Is there a way to search a Mimic project (or even individual movies) for a word or phrase? Even better, to accomplish a find and replace?

I know that variables can be used, but those require you to be prescient and know what people will want to see changed ahead of time. I need to be able to search ...

They love it when you give them great ideas for free.

That link doesn't work.

Thanks, Steve, but that doesn't address my question.

I know what the zoom feature is, and I can get it to work -- against a background bitmap only. Mimic's own help states,

You can add a zoom effect to an object in a frame."

This does not appear to be true. I cannot apply the zoom feature to an ...

Your help states,

"You can add a zoom effect to an object in a frame. This creates a 3D effect that magnifies (and therefore emphasizes) a specific area in a frame so that it appears closer than the rest of the frame."

I'd like to do just that -- but I haven't been able to get any of those ...

I place a lot of small bitmaps within blank frames (more than I'd like to; sometimes I have to capture a small region, and copying and pasting the generated bitmaps is the only way I've found to maintain the dimensions of the project).

Then I think of a small change I'd like to make to a particular ...

2. If not, is there a way to flag a cross reference style as print-only?

I haven't been able to find a property of the xref class to allow me to set a condition tag on all references. Would I have to select each cross reference as text, then apply the print-only condition ...

Is it possible to flag a custom xref class as "print only"?

Here's the situation:

I don't care for the usual cross reference scheme, because I often want to have the jump follow text of my own selection. For example, the jump label may be singular, because it makes grammatic sense to what I'm ...

I have a rectangle. It has a gradient background. It looks good.

I add text. That also looks good.

I want to emphase one word of the text, so I \"bold\" it.

The rectangle no longer looks good. The rectangle is still shaded, but the text proper has a white background and the look is ...
