I am using CSH alias and assigning values. The assign new button just parses the last entered when highlighting a new topic to alias. Is there a way to select several, such as a folders worth and have Flare assign a value and ID?

I recall, some time ago, but I am not sure, that RoboHelp allowed you ...

Hello,

When I create the word output, I can view the images. When I place it on the SharePoint site for review, all they see are the missing red x boxes? I have searched, perhaps I am just missing it, but what is causing this and is there a remedy?

Thank you.

Is there a way to change how a Find result is opened? Currently, when searching for topics and the result set is on the bottom frame of Flare, opening a result is displayed in 'Code' view. Is there a way to have it open in Web View?

Thank you.

Thank you Miss Lisa. That worked. The strange this was, that the other project contatained the selection, just not this one. I opened a few file extensions with snagit...closed and relaunched the older project and now it appears. I am using Vista. How odd.

Thanks again.

So installing the 4.1 download over the current 4.0 is done via 'repair'? And none of the settings, skins, etc are replaced or defaulted back?

Thank you very much.

I have read a few of the threads and I have some questions. I am currently running 4.0.16. I downloaded the 4.1 update the other day. Upon launching the executable, the Repair or Remove options became available. Is this normal? A colleague stated it was a separate installation for him. What is the ...

I simply create a folder in resources called documents. Place the pdfs in that folder via windows explorer. I then link to the actual pdf file. When you publish, they are placed within the help system.

If your documents are located elsewhere then just link to them.

I am needing the opposite of a parameter for a report. I want to see what topics are unassigned with CSH? Any way to do that with this product?

I am using the standard output folders. They are not in the Content Folder. In using Analyzer, I am pointing to the Project File.

I checked on one of the topics and found the below when viewing the code.

Thanks for all the help on this.

Thanks Kevin,

I was hoping for that automated thing Maybe a good enhancement tool for new Flare version? Nothing saves time like using the CSS, and if there is a robust toolset with it, makes it even more convenient.

I must be doing something wrong. Your example looks great. Here is my setting in the autnumber section of the div.



Thank you.

JCoria

Thanks for the instruction. I am almost there. However, I am having difficulty in getting the end result. In the preview, the noteTitle span looks good but does not seem to work with the div. How do I get the two to work together. The Note text appears in the dotted box, but the span is not working ...

Do you have a graphic and make it a snippet? Insert a picture?

Ah, if you're not actually using Flare to generate the help, then you couldn't use Flare auto-numbering to insert the "Note" text (or icon).


I apologize. I am using Flare right now. The migration of the other help system is slow moving. Maybe next year. What I am trying to do, is get the look ...
