MadCap Software Forums

Hi everybody,

I'm working in a Manual for which I'm generating a PDF output. I'm reusing some previous content also from Flare, and there are some images. They all look great. For the new information I am adding, I'm also making some prints, using MadCap Capture. The prints are also all right. The ...

I checked and did as you said. It worked!

Thanks a lot

Hello!

I use dropdown menus throughout my WebHelp and also offer the users the option to print topics. The problem is that when they print the Topic, the dropdowns are displayed closed unless they have opened it. I'd like the dropdown styles to be displayed as h (topic) styles when printed. Is it ...

Hello,

I'm trying Lingo and it's nice. If I press CTRL+D on my keyboard or select View>Dictionary, the Dictionary Window Pane is displayed, but it always shows the message "No Suggestions found". My doubt is if it's because really there aren't suggestions, or if anything is wrong. I assume there ...

Thanks, Suze.

Yep, I think this is the best way: keep them separate.

I'm going to check about Global Project Linking, I've seen about it but never took a closer look, might be helpful.

Certainly Lingo would be very good in my case, but I still don't use it.

Hello,

Where I work, we provide help both in Portuguese and English for our system, being each Help (CSH) with some different Targets because of different types of users. Until now, I've been keeping two different Projects, one for each language. However, there are many shared aspects in both Helps ...

Thanks Lisa, that's exacty what I wanted.

As usual, you're very helpful.

Hello.

I'm really confused about how to number the titles in my PDF output. I have four levels of titles, and I wanna them look like this:

1.
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.1.2.1
1.1.2.2
1.2
2.

I know where to go in order to have it, but I can't see the logic of how displaying the numbers the way I want ...

To change the color of the TOC, you must go to Project Organizer > Skins > Double-click the wanted Skin > Frame > AccordionTOC > Frame > BackgroungColor, and change it the way you want.

Thank you very much.

I'm happy everybody is always so kind around the Forums

I have the Word "Menu" in many Topics, and I want it to be bold in all of them. Is there a way I can automatically format it so it will be bold in all of the Topics in my Project?

Thank you very much.

Well, I solved the problem by setting the option "collapse" in the border-collapse property on each table style.

I have a few styles for tables that I use for Tips, Warnings and Info. These tables follow the indentation of the level of information they are part of, and in some cases include a margin of 1cm or 2cm.

I don't know why, but in most of the tables with margin I can't have collapsed cell borders. If ...

Thank you, wijnand. I'll see what I can do, and I'll also post an Enhancement Request at madcap.com asking for them to make it available to change it within Flare.

Where can I change the the text of the label shown when hovering over the "Book" TOC Entry Icon? It's "Book" by default and I would really like to change it to "Click to open".

If anyone can help, it will be nice. Thanks a lot

Thanks, Jan Jursa. I was looking for this answer

But I have another question: How do I do in order of having no text displayed when hovering the logo?

Thanks, you guys, I'll see what I can do.

I can go to Skin > Styles > Control and change the way the Favorite Topics and Searches are displayed, including:

TopicFavoritesDeleteButton
TopicFavoritesLabel

SearchFavoritesLabel

But I would also like to change the way the Searches and Topics are displayed, both ...

Thanks, Lisa, it worked.

As you said, I had to change the file dimensions.

Thanks a lot, Dave, it worked

Dave,

When you say



The background image is set in a master page, using a body class. The master page contains a div tag (set to be semi-transparent), and this div contains the topic body. Then I just set any 'special' topics to use this master page.

1. Copy and paste these styles into your ...

Thanks, Lisa.

I'm gonna be gutsy and change the code . Do you know what file would I have to change and how?

In Skin > Styles > Control, there's the option "EmptySearchFavoritesLabel", where I can change the text shown when there is no Favorite Search saved. Besides this text, there's an image, which I would like to change. But I can't find where to do it. Can anybody tell me the answer to this issue ...

Thank you very much. I'm going to try it and later I tell the results.
