Excellent idea! I had the same thought last night and tried it this AM; great minds think alike There is a "Title" column in the file list; and I can sort and see my un-titled topics. The bad news is that there are ~100 of them, x 7 languages, that I need to correct

The headings of all my Help topics (~900) use a custom paragraph style named "Topic Heading". This Topic Heading style was used in the Word documents in my original RoboHelp project which has since been converted to Flare. This is causing a problem in my compiled HTML help Search results, because ...

I have the same issue with HH.exe since upgrading to Flare V7 - never had the problem with V6. It is a persistent and annoying problem that causes my (Windows XP) system to become paralyzed. Sometimes, there are 2 copies in Task Manager that I have to end. I now watch for them - they aren't in Task ...

Me too! My images with popups don't work on Flare 7. I can compile my sources in Flare 6 and all my image popups work fine. If I compile the same sources in Flare 7, none of them work - they all give the "This program cannot display the webpage" message. I reported it yesterday: it's case 24361.

We're experiencing the same problem. Two people on my project have FLARE. I'm still running V4.1 and my partner is running V4.2. She gets an Object Reference Not Set error on a file during compile and I do not get the error. So is there a way to drop back to V4.1?

RoboHelp had the capability to generate a report listing of all topics in the project that included for each topic the document name and topic title. I haven't been able to find any similar capability in Analyzer or in Flare. This list was useful for many things. For example, right now, I need to ...

If it was a snake it would have bitten me. Thanks...

I am trying to put a date system variable in one of my Master Page footers, but am not having success and think I must be missing something. I think I need to add a new variable to my project that uses the date system variable? Then insert this new variable into my Master Page footer? I've not been ...

Thanks - that's exactly what I wanted. Now, how do I get my master page with this lovely border to not be used by my popup and image popup topics? I don't want the footer in these.

How do I get a border to appear above the footer information in my master page? I noticed that in Flare Help, there is a nice separator border line between the body and the footer information, but I have not figured out how to get this. I defined a master page and added footer text below "topic body ...

Got it and I see it. Is there another set of settings that controls image map popup properties?

I got most of that. I'm doing a text popup, but I don't see anything named popupBody style in my style sheet?

OK. I've adjusted mc-popup-width and height under a. popup. I set the width to 5in, and the height to auto. Now I have a few more questions about popups:
I thought a height of auto would adjust the box according to the amount of text, but it keeps the box the same size and adds a scroll bar. Is ...

Thanks for everyone's suggestions - they got me onto the right track. The custom RH heading style did indeed have "page-break-before" set to "always" under print support, but that was only part of the problem. I had to also change "mc-heading-level" under Print Support for my RH style from 0 to 1 ...

The heading is printed twice. The heading prints on the first without the content, then prints on the next page with the content. Furthermore, the format of the heading on the first page is different than the format on the second page. The format on the second page is correct. This may be because ...

Printing or Print Previewing an HTML topic, either from within FLARE via the "Preview Compiled Topic" button or from within the compiled .CHM, always prints an extra heading page before printing the topic. What am I doing wrong?

Oops, I think I lost my previous replay. I didn't mention it in my post, but I was selecting the entire document (via CTRL-A) and selecting all the graphics in the Link dialog. That wasn't the problem.

I'm using Word 2003 and I have ~170 linked graphics in my 128 page Word document. (This is a fraction of what my final document will have.) I used Edit:Links to save the pictures in my document and break the links. It seemed to work like a charm until I realized that only a few of the graphics ...

I searched high and low through the FLARE Help and UI to find a Zoom. I can't believe there isn't one! What about us older folks who can't see the small text? I'm becoming quite frustrated by all the mistakes I'm making working with the the teeny .htm text. Are there plans to add this to FLARE ...
