Don't worry, Lisa. I still think you're a genius too.
I think you've solved most of my other posted questions.

Paul,
You're a genius! That worked and now I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it on my own.

Thanks so much,

Hi Lisa,
I checked and found that the text alignment setting is for "left", not justify. I also took a look at all of the hyphenation properties and found that all of them are "not set".

Any other suggestions?
(Keeping my fingers crossed.)

Hi all,
I have defined a style called "Note" in my stylesheet with this mc-auto-number-format: {b}Note:{/b} . Note the space after the {/b}. And, I do all of my stylesheet edits using the default medium.

When I look at text in my topics, text with the Note style appears like this: "Note:Text text ...

Wow! That was easy. Thanks for the assistance.

I'm in the process of creating WebHelp and am making changes to the default skin. One bit has got me stumped: the madcap icon in the upper, right corner of the window (I assume it's a part of the toolbar). I can't find any information about this in Flare's Help and I'd really like to replace it with ...

Thanks to all who have shared their knowledge in this post!

Hi Steve,
I am not sure if I'm applying a paragraph style to the table's cells. When I look at the table in the XML editor, with the blocks on, I see the HTML block>Body block>Table block. When I select text in any part of the cell and open the Styles window pane, I don't see all of my paragraph ...

Hi all,
I've searched this board for topics related to my issue and I've been unable to find any. I'm new to CSS, so apologies in advance if I just haven't searched for the proper keywords.

Here's the problem I'm having: I apply a stylesheet to a table. The table text doesn't look the way I want ...

Lisa,
Yes! I did mean that I see all 1's in the XML editor. I'm glad to know that this is okay. Thank you so much for the response!

Lisa and others,
I found this post while searching for hints to get my auto-numbers to work correctly. I think I'm following the same format you've posted, but I'm not getting the results I want.

For my FigureTitle style, I've got this format in the auto-number properties: GF:{b} Figure {n+} {/b ...

Lisa,
I fiddled around with it a bit more and found that I had changed a setting called "display", inside the Block properties, to "none". This appears to have been the cause of the issue. I'm really new to CSS, so I didn't realize what the display setting was.
I do think it's odd that that ...

Lisa,
Here's the style:

p.Example
{
border-width: 1px;
padding-left: 6px;
margin-top: 0pt;
font-family: Georgia;
border-top-width: 0px;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border: solid 1px;
border-left-color: #ddedfe;
border-right-color ...

Hi all,
I am using a style called p.Example. I decided to remove the background color and make some other changes to the style. After making changes, I returned to the topic where the style's in use and the text with that style has become "hidden at runtime". The text also has a rather intimidating ...

Nita,
Thanks for the tip! I'll check out out that thread.

Nita,
Could the issue have possibly been that I had set the stylesheet medium to "non-print" in my PDF target? I had experimented with the mediums yesterday, but decided to go with 2 style sheets instead of the mediums.

So, I just made a couple of changes to the target (the stylesheet medium ...

Hi Nita,
Thanks for pointing out what type of info I needed to share. I wasn't too sure.

-- The title page layout has a Title page and an Empty page.
-- You're right. I just checked and found that I did apply the layout to the TOC items.
-- The Printed Output tab is set to Start a new chapter ...

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a Flare project (I'm fairly new to Flare, coming from a FM background) and I'm stumped about getting rid of a couple of extra pages that have suddenly appeared in my Title Page topic. I have created a title page layout, a title page topic, and I've applied the layout to ...

Andrew,
Thank you for the helpful information. I am used to sizing my images inside FM with an anchor, so I did not consider that I might set the size outside of Flare. Now that I have a few ideas to mull over, I'd better start experimenting.

Thanks again!

Hi all,
I'm getting used to Flare (coming from FrameMaker) and I'm a bit thrown off by the screen shots in my first project. I imported a Frame book to Flare and it brought in all of my screen shots nicely. However, I needed to add a couple more to the project and when I did, the newly added screen ...

Hi all,
I'm brand new to Flare and Capture. I'm reading through the Capture V4 help to create two profiles: one for print and another for online outputs. I can create a new profile and edit the properties, but I cannot save it. When I click the Save or Save All icons, the dialog box gives me the ...

Lisa,
Thanks for your response. I was able to find the text-transform column in the CSS and locate the offending style. What seemed strange to me is that I had "none" selected, not "normal". Anyway, when I changed it to "default" the application stopped yelling at me.

Many thanks!

Hi everyone,
I posted this question on the Getting Started board a while ago and just realized that this might be a better place for me to post and get a response. So, here goes.

I'm moving my documentation from FM into Flare and I'm editing the text as I go. I get the following message each time ...

Hi all,
I'm just getting starting on moving documentation into Flare and I'm editing the text. I keep getting the following message and I'm not sure what I've done to trigger it:
CSS: Z:\My Projects\Student System\Online Teacher Guide\Content\Supplemental Hourly\About KHA717.htm: CSS: Invalid text ...

Thanks Lisa. Guess the caps will have to wait until I get this imported into Flare.
