Thanks, emsachs! I appreciate the advice.

I have some old, out-dated topics that I don't use any more, but don't dare delete. When generating a build, the message window reads "Processing topic" for each of these old topics that are not part of the TOC. So, what does "processing topic" mean? And how do you folks handle out-dated topics?

Thanks for replying. I have some detective work to do.

When I output my project to PDF, things go well. No errors.

However, when I output my project to Web, I get the dreaded "Build failed: The specified path, file name, or both are too long."

Why am I getting this error for Web output but not for PDF output?

Thank you, Nita! I'll give it a shot.

Is there a way to run Analyzer on a target and TOC, rather than an entire project?

Thanks. Appreciate the suggestions.

Is there a way to display all topics containing bookmarks along with all topics containing references to those bookmarks?

Open the TOCs side by side (by floating one and then docking it to the right or left of the other one). Then, in each, click the View button on the TOC Editor's toolbar to switch to Grid view. Once there, you can SORT the TOCs by the Link column (by any column, actually, but the Link column is ...

Thanks for the help, people! I appreciate it.

Same project. I'm trying to re-organize things better, but my new TOC is off by about 20 items.

Is there a way to compare one TOC to another that is organized differently, to see what is missing?

Thanks!

Reluctant to use "Whole project" as the entire thing is huge and contains folders of outdated material. Hoping for a more granular solution.

Thanks Nita. I'll play around with it.

Thanks for the replies! Much needed and appreciated.

If a project has, say, two levels of folders, is there a way to run a Find and Replace across embedded folders to change, for instance, all mentions of "IBM" to "CBS?"

Can I have ARCS list recently changed files?

I was just asked for a special edition of a user guide, but WITHOUT blank pages. What do I need to do to eliminate blank pages from PDF output?

How the heck do you unregister an older version of a Flare app?

I am using Flare version 11.1.0. Is it okay for me to uninstall previous version of Flare? And may I also uninstall previous versions of other MadCap products - Analyzer, Capture, Contributor, Echo, Lingo, Mimic?

Thanks, Nita!

The odd thing is, this topic somehow got associated with stylesheet that is part of the project, but isn't being used. I fixed it. But that one was a bit weird.

Autonumbering has gotten turned on somehow in a project.

I don't remember doing it, but now I need to turn it off.

Where do I go to turn off Autonumbering for H2 headings?

Thanks, Kwag!

This is what my Include Files box says:

"All Files (*.*)"
