Prior to this project, I just updated to Flare 7.2.

In the Web Help output, the text line breaks after each word in the table column 2.
It
looks
like
this.

It looks fine in the preview. The output shows the column is very wide. I'm using a P.TableText para style. When I use that style outside of the table, it looks fine.
I've tried setting the ...

Can I just copy and paste the whole folder of Images into the Resources folder of a Flare project using Explorer?

I have a RoboHelp project passed to me which has the htm content and .mpj on one drive (which I've inported) and all the folders that one would find under the RESOURCES folder in Flare ...

Thanks DocuWill, and for the details SteveS. That works well.

I see that this method does not work on hard hyphens. Is there any way to get e-mail to not break across lines?

I've tried inserting it as a Variable and as a Snippet— still breaks.

ignore my 'example' as all the spaces were removed when posted.

In my footer, I want the company name to be centered. Is there a way to right-index the page number (for right pages) on the same line? I tried using the right-float text box, but it goes to the next line.

example: |_ MyCompanyName.com -29- _|

This is for PDF output. Flare 7.1, Windows7, Latitude ...

Thanks, DocuWil. That worked.
I never knew about the Format > Paragraph command. The properties dialog evidently offers, what amounts to, style 'overrides' for the selected paragraph.

How do I avoid a word breaking across lines? Is there some way to mark a word as non-breaking? There is no hyphen in the word.

Thanks

WISH LIST—
Allow zooming in on the topic editor; bigger than 100% (when in Print layout mode).

Solved by MadCap Tech Support. My monitor resoultion was set to 120 ppi and evidently must be at 96 ppi for proper PDF creation from Flare (on Windows).

MORE INFO: I discovered that the reason the PDF is not finding the words is because there are small spaces inserted between characters of the words. For example the word Service is actually S e rv ic e in the PDF (except the spaces are smaller). The Flare text is fine (unbroken words). The code ...

My PDF search function finds some text but not other text on the same page. In fact, within p tag text, it won't find the word utility but it will find tility if I do a search on just that part of the word.

This project was imported from a Word 2010 .docx file.

Is there a way to tab (div) in the middle of a sentence and not affect the whole sentence/paragraph? For instance, in the footer, I want the footer on the Right page placed at the left margin, but I want a the page number at the right margin (and in the same line).

Is filling the gap with non ...

Okay, resetting the language in Flare fixed the caption. (language had gone back to 'default'.
The skin size and location still have no effect in the output chm. Any ideas?

Creating HTML Help in Windows7; changes to the Help Window caption and the location and placement of the help are all ignored in output. The language in Flare and in the Windows OS are both US English. Working in Flare 6.1.0. Are there any other PC settings that could affect this? It worked a week ...

I, too, am having trouble. Popup windows are not displaying. I'm using Flare 7 in Windows 7. They worked fine on March 8, 2011. But since then I've seen an automatic Windows update when I shut down, just a few days ago. I've built much navigation using popups and would like hear what's up. Flare ...

Thanks, whunter.
That fixed it; fonts are the correct size that match the style sheet.

I change the font size of a p.footnote paragraph style with the Medium set to Non-print. Save. Look at the Flare editor (also set to Medium=Non-print) and the changes don't appear. :( I can force them to appear in the editor for each topic by clicking Default medium, and then toggle back to Non ...

Which Blackberry OS Version works with Flare WebHelp mobile?

I have one co-worker who can open my WebHelp mobile created with Flare 6.1 and two co-workers who's Blackberry does not display anything (blank screen).

Does anyone know? I bet someone at MadCap might knows!

Thanks a gig,

Can someone show what your URL looks like? How do I use the &forcedownload=true code? I'm trying to open an Excel Spreadsheet—doesn't really matter if it is links from the TOC or a Topic. But when you say to enter a URL it is really just an explorer path, isn't it? Such as ../MySpreadsheet.xls ...

Bernie,
All I know about issue #1 is that when embedded, the PDF will add to the size of the CHM (or whatever your output is). Also, when it is not embedded, you rely on other people (or systems) to ensure that the PDF is indeed in the correct directory.


#2. I think I understand what you are ...

Some of our customers still have legacy capital equipment with embedded computers running Win98. They are not required to update the OS, but they do periodically update a companion SW App (including my Help) on that equipment.

Thanks, Steve.
That does help--I can use chm Help (even though I prefer Web Help).
