On the topic of generic classes, I have set up 3 generic classes as follows

.leftAlign
{
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
}

.centerAlign
{
text-align: center;
}

.rightAlign
{
margin-right: 10px;
float: right;
}

I want to apply these to my pictures with attached captions. Is there a way to ...

Each project will be it's own .chm file. Chapter 1, chapter 2, ect.

Each project will be printed separately as their own word file. Each division of the company will get a bound version of the help word document that is only specific to their jobs. No one person would have 1 copy of the entire 25 ...

If you're talking about for online output, though, why reference images by number at all? The beauty of online formats like CHM and webhelp is you can just link directly to the image and if the user wants to see it they can click on the link and there it is. Figure numbers are a print convention ...

Thank you very much. I am new to xml/html. I will mess with the floating and go about it that way. Thank you.

There are a few reasons we have them split.

1. the software already is programmed to search for each .chm file individually, so it was easier to keep it that way.
2. the software is split into modules for each division of the company. (accounting only has those modules, warehouse only has inventory ...

I originally had the picture and caption set up in a div, but when I would right or left justify, it just sat there and did not move. Is there something I could be doing wrong?

I have 25 projects set up currently, 1 for each chapter of my help system. Can I set it up so each project know what chapter it is? I was setting my autonumbering to be Figure 1- {n+} and changing the figure number in each of my projects. Is there a way that I can specify chapter numbers without ...

how do I "attach" a caption to a picture? When I have a picture in the center of the screen, the caption is placed under it. I adjusted the picture so it is positioned to the right, and the body text wraps around the left. How can I position the text so it is under the picture, instead of within the ...

Hello all. I am relatively new to Flare as well as CSS. I actually have a 2 part question.

I am having issues with autonumbering my figure captions. I have a style called p.figure that I set up so each caption numbers itself (because I do not want all images to be numbered). So far, it will only ...

Thanks for the help. I put in a support request and just waiting on a response. Right now, I have the hyperlink working, but this is what I have in the external link field

mk:@MSITStore: C:\Users\andrea.altenburg\Desktop\MSCManual\ Chapter_1_Introduction.chm::/Chapter_1_Introduction/windowsmenus ...

Hello Pete,

Ok, I opened up the help file and here is the URL of chapter 1

mk:@MSITStore:C:\Users\andrea.altenburg\Desktop\MSCManual\Chapter_1_Introduction.chm::/Chapter_1_Introduction/windowsmenus/windowsmenus.htm

so I copied it into the hyperlink and now it looks like this

mk:@MSITStore ...

after I build, it shows up in a folder and I move them all to the same folder on my desktop since flare clears the folder it builds to.
Is there a better way to have them in the same folder?

Content/Chapter_1_Introduction/windowsmenus/windowsmenus.htm

That is how the folders break down, but the page is still not coming up, so I'm lost at this point. I am typing it exactly.

I double checked and I am typing everything exactly.....here is how chapter 1 is laid out.

File Name
Chapter_1_Introduction.chm

Content
Chapter_1_Introduction
windowsmenus
windowsmenus.htm

so which way do I enter the hyperlink?

mk:@MSITStore:chapter_1_Introduction.chm::content::Chapter_1 ...

Ok. I checked, and the files are called Chapter_1_Introduction.chm and Chapter_2_Administration.chm

I build the primary and then transferred them both to a folder on my desktop since the second overrides the first.

Chapter 2
C:\Users\andrea.altenburg\Desktop\MSC Manual
Chapter 1
C:\Users\andrea ...

Thank you Kevin for the quick response.

I tried what you said, and I'm closing, but am still missing something.

Here is what I typed in:

mk:@MSITStore:Chapter_1_Introduction.chm::Windows Menus/Windows Menus.htm

It saves with no errors, but when I open chapter 2 and click on the link, literally ...

Hello all,

I am very new to Flare. I have each chapter set up as it's own project. I am trying to hyperlink between them and struggling. Both .chm files are located in the same folder. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. According to the help instructions in flare, this is how I set the hyperlink up.
