Can someone suggest a good process for me? My existing project is for Product 1 and it has three variations, 1A, 1B, 1C, each a conditional output. I need a new Help file for new Product 2. It currently has no variations but I do expect some in the future. About 20% fo the topics in the existing ...

Why do I get this message
No relevant files were found in the chosen bundle.
after clicking Merge a bundle received from translation ?

This is a LIngo project that I've already Exported to Flare, then made changes for the next rev. and exported another bundle for translation. The zipped files I ...

I've discovered answers to these Qs (V 5).
1. I think that Importing the TMX automatically saves the Tranlation Memory (I assume to the SQL Server db).
2. Support tells me the SQL Server needs to be on the local drive (where Lingo is). If it was not already installed, you can install it after ...

I have a zip file from the translator who does not have/use Lingo. If I don't want to merge all the files, just a few, into the Lingo project, is there a way to do that?

Two questions: Work flow, and SQL Server connection
1.
For the first time, I've just bundled my project to send to a translator. There is no translation memory yet. Can I save the TMX that I get back from the translator to the SQLServer database? (I'm not savvy yet about Server DBs.) Is there a good ...

Thanks all, for the information.
I'm not currently outputing the Simple Chinese to PDF, but good to know about the parenthesis.
A time-limited license of Lingo sounds--maybe too good. Great idea. I guess you are also saying that any XML editor can be used to edit the content files as long as one ...

Here's a question for RamonS: you recommend to Linda that I'd send the project over (not the compiled output) . However, her translator does not have Flare or Lingo. Being new to translation, I'm wondering how the translator can use the Flare files, do all the translation, including TOX, index ...

Anyone know a Ver 8 shortcut for closing the Project?

Thanks.
Not to worry about your THIRD item: the files are on a hard drive inside the product we sell.

Your SECOND item: Spaces may be a problem. I won't test that theory soon. I typed the %20 into the field. What's weird is how some work and some don't.

Re: your FIRST item: After typing the ...

Thanks, but... My Webhelps are not published to the Web. They are in an embedded system that the customer can (and most likely will) use without internet connection. After the app opens the first Help file via CSH call, I'm attempting to link to the other Help file (which is in another language ...

With Flare 8, how do I link from a topic page of one Webhelp to the topic page of another webhelp? I have used Hyperlink > External. Listed this as my external file: ../../../FLXHD_OpChineseWHelp/FLXHD%20Chinese%20Op%20Help_CSH.htm Which I typed in so that Flare doesn't change it.
Both Webhelp ...

Okay, I found my answer. I just had to set the target Language property to Chinese Simplied.

I'm having the htm pages of Web Help translated into simplified Chinese. But the Search doesn't work. What are other's doing? Is there a work around? Can a Chinese Search engine be added to/built into the output?

Thanks for the reply, Jason,
In the skin properties > General Tab, the TOC , Index , and Search tabs are all selectable--deselect the TOC to not display it. I use a mini-TOC on the content page that leads to other mini-TOCs.

Good idea about the Web Help, however, I did also create a Web Help output ...

With Ver 7 (or 8 after I install it), I want to add a page number to every topic. Is it true that the Footnote Proxy only works for Print output? If yes, any ideas on how to do this.

My objective is to allow reviewers a way to go to every topic in the .chm file and know they haven't missed topics ...

Thanks for that explanation, Lisa.

I have not moved the TableStyles to other folders. However, this project was created by importing a previous project of a much older version of Flare. Possibly some strangeness occured. I noticed that when I make changes to that particular TableStyle, like ...

Can anyone outline the main differences between a TableStyle (in the TablStyles folder) and a Table subclass in the main CSS (in the Stylesheets folder). That would be a great start to solving an issue I have which is this,

Everytime I build the HTML Help, I get error messages that says it can't ...

Here is an image of the two issues: images at insertion and images FLOAT right:
(If I figure out how to attach an image)

Here's what I've discovered:

Positioning Pictures; whether I Float: a) right, b) outside Right Margin, or c) Right of Frame, the images behave differently depending on the para style. Some styles flow on the left side of the image fine and some will skip down past the image. And it seems that the ...

What's the best setting for placing an image within (or at the end of) a text line ( p. tag or li list) so that the bottom of the image is aligned with the bottom of the text line? Flare 7.1, Win 7.

I have created a subclass image called 'AtInsertion' and it seems to behave differently for li ...

Is there a way to keep the Output/MyName/Temporary folder from regenerating?

I, too, have a Depsets folder in a Temporary output folder, along with a second project folder and with all the content, resources, and skin support. These were created when I bound my project to Subversion. But I have ...

Here's what I've discovered:

There is no Bind to Source Control option when creating a project by importing a FrameMaker book. I was able to bind the project after creating it. However, there are some issues with content management with Flare that I don't understand (don't really know Subversion ...

The instructions in the Help for importing FrameMaker as a new project doesn't say anything about Source Control. The general help for starting a new project says, after selecting folder for the project, that I can 'select Bind to Source Control.' In essence, I want to start a new project from a ...

80% of the time I compile one of my projects, it gives me this error:
Internal error: could not find part of the path . . .
I am outputing to two different PDF targets with Flare 7.1 on Win 7. The error has appeared for both outputs, and I've had to add a new folder in Exporer with the same ...

I avoided this problem by creating another table below it and copying the contents to it. I don't know what the issue was, but it may have been a RoboHelp-conversion corruption something . . .
