Yes. That was the problem.

whunter, good clarification. I momentarily forgot.
I have added the CarA condition in my Child Project, set the target to exclude it. It didn't work. However, I see now that my condition groups are different. My Child condition is Product.CarA and the Source the condition is Primary.CarA . Maybe ...

In the Source Project I have some paragraphs tagged for CarA and other paragrpahs for CarB within the same topic. (This is true for many topics.) For the Child import-file settings, I have included CarB and excluded CarA. In the Child project, the topic contains both. If you are saying that the CarA ...

Thanks, Nita, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I have only one Child project target and CarA condition is excluded and it still appears in the HTML (CHM) output.

I am doing global project linking (importing files from a master (I call Source ) project into another project (I call Child ).

As I tried to state, I can exclude condition CarA from importing into the Child project. However, it only excludes whole topics (e.g., Troubleshooting.htm). It does not ...

I have a Child Project with a topic that has one paragraph that doesn't apply to this product (CarB). Although the Source Project has this paragraph conditionalized (CarA-only) and my import process says to exclude CarA-only, it still appears in the Child Project, which MC Support tells me is by ...

Super.

When I'm in a topic linked to a global source project, is there an easy way to open the source file and edit it?
I have had two Flare Apps open to do this. But maybe there's a better way.

Here's what I discovered. (I am using the Advanced CSS editor.)
The .png did not work. I am using a .bmp and it shows up. However, it was cropped and off-center.
So I set these parameters for my special a-Link:
Positioning > Overflow to Visible (this was critical)
Positioning > Position to ...

I'm trying to make a text link with a background image so the link looks like a button. Can this be done? I've been unsuccessful.

I created a new 'a' class in my css (non-print medium)
selected a .png background image
set it to 'no-repeat'
also tried setting background-attachment to 'fixed'

The ...

I discovered that Flare doesn't like the 10.5 pt. font-size setting. All bold font appears 11pt. But if I change the (p.) para font to 10 pt., bold is also 10 pt.

I just checked the output and it looks OK (all the same size). I pasted it into Word and it's all 11 pt. So, at this point, my conclusion is that it is both things you suggested, an inheritance from somewhere and a Flare XML bug. I'll let you know more when if I discover more. Thanks for your help.

I'll recheck the 'default' medium; maybe I've missed something.

After setting a couple words to bold with the b span (and no text-size set), just using the Flare (wizywig) editor, I highlight the bold text and read the size and font info in the ribbon. It says 11 points. And it does look bigger ...

Also, when I try to delete p.classes or span.classes from the stylesheet sheet, it won't allow me and says '...cannot be removed since it's inherited and not defined in this stylesheet. " So how do I find out where it is defined? Both stylesheet in this project give me that notice. So it seems many ...

Thanks, LTinker68. However, I've tried setting all the targets to new stylesheet and some properties just seem to not be affected, like the b character tag to make text bold. Even though the font-size for b is set to < not set > it still changes to 11 pts. ( p is set to 10.5). I've tried changing ...

Okay. I see. Now this gets complicated. I do have two stylesheets in this project and the primary target uses the other stylesheet (not the one I'm tweeking). However, this is a Single-Source-only project that I intend to import files from when I create my new project.

Do I still need to set the ...

My Stylesheet is set to Non-Print (as are my topics). I checked the stylesheet in the internal text editor and the styles in question are listed under the @media non-print . So something else is unhappy. (There is only one style listed under @media print and it is for an xref.)
Thanks for thought.

Is there a reason why the CSS properties for a p tag or a div tag don't stay where I set them? I set a div tag font-weigh t property to Bold—works fine. Some time later, when I reuse the Stylesheet in another project, and set the font-weight back to <default>, it won't change.

My work-around, is ...

Thanks, all. I never would have figured that out.

I have my Styles Window set to auto-hide. Even after using it, the shortcut doesn't work.

With Flare 9 (on Windows) I've been unsuccessful using Flare's Keyboard Shortcuts (which I think is the same a 'Hotkey'). (I use the Ribbon.) I can insert a Text-Only Popup, for example, successfully one in 9 tries and don't know how it worked that one time. I've tried ALT +PU , ALT + N PU , and ...

I have a TOC entry linked to the Browse Seq. file (for the sole purpose of making it easy for customer to print the entire Help). I'd rather not have this entry open showing a list of every page in the Help when the Help opens initially. No matter how deeply embedded it is in book-levels, it still ...

Thanks, Solena. It's been long enough now that I don't really remember how I handled it but think it was the former—putting the files where they belong. Am not sure what you mean by

when running a tryout...

. Is it a procedure that I can read about in Lingo Help?

I have an image with an image map that has many links within it (>25) which will probably change often . I don't want to move all those link-shapes around in the image map each time the image changes.

The image is like a flow chart with much text, the text being where the link-shapes are. The ...

Thanks. That helps. Good idea about a separate folder for the imported topics.

Thanks, Inge.

Ignoring any Source Control SW (since i don't use any), I think you are saying that you did create a separate source project (that you call 'Standard' and that I called 'ProductSingleSource') that is not used directly for any output, but which contain topics/pages/files/ which are ...
