Got most of the other things fixed (the compatibility settings = OFF, plus select Run as administrator).

Now my cursor is absolutely enormous in Flare. Any thoughts?

what's the best css way to align bullets (and numbering) flush left , with the text? This seems to be the design trend so have to go along with it :)
AND to be able to see the lists in Flare xml editor.

We have extensive customization from an outside contracting agency, and I want to make sure I ...

I'm also a Frame to Flare newbie, I've imported Word a lot but there are some new issues.

There are a LOT of broken links. In the files, they have names like 'import-link-appconfig-js_84038_484044'

Not sure where this is coming from, and unfortunately it takes a while (looking at the live output ...

o, argh
running parallels on a mac with multiple displays. I'm screwed.

Every time I change the windoze settings for display I'm logged out, and it seems to keep reverting back, so might just have to live with it, at least when I have a minute to actually try stuff and am not trying to get work ...

My Analyzer does not display the column header row, but only a thin sliver. I can hover to see the text but wonder if anybody else has found this?

Is there a limit to the number of page layouts in a project?

Troubleshooting something I did not set up and notice 600+ page layouts, never seen that before

ah, sent off a support ticket mentioning this as it wasn't specified that it was windoze, not flare.

however, after _much_ digging (none of the answers on the web match what I see in the UI, there's no rollback option), I found the kb number and don't seem to have it installed.

next step, I guess ...

sorry, but how to 'roll back the update'?

Flare doesn't usually accommodate this so wonder how that's done?

thanks!

these heuristics are super-helpful and much appreciated!

I think I've disproved the claim that if I import a framemaker book, then import another, the links between them will then 'work'. No reduced link issues and it doesn't really make sense to me - but MadCap did say it works.

Anybody done this, or know?

Any other Frame import tips appreciated as ...

I don't see a way to rescan the selected target, but from reading notes here (this is my first time using Analyzer as a full product) it looks like all these updates happen in real time, is that correct?

I think this disproves the claim that if I import a framemaker book, then import another, the ...

So one person said use compatibility checker - which sets Flare to be compatible with Windows 8

Then someone else said they have success when they turn that off.

Hmm, guess I can try both but that's confusing!

Also installed 64-bit ghostscipt - hope it just installs over the 32-bit one, if it's ...

I remember doing this in the past but can't remember how - I believe by mapping low-level heading styles not used in the content.

I want to merge nested topics into the top one - whether or not to show in the TOC is secondary.

Is there a way to do this without manually copy/paste?

Thanks

I did do that, thanks
figured out a couple things tho...

1. The specific issue I was having, about so many topics with the same name, was because there were variables in the Frame file headings.
2. It is framemaker import, and it seemed to create a lot more than this top-level topic. So looks like ...

I thought the way this worked was if I select ONLY ChapTitle to be a new topic, Flare will only find those headers in Frame and ONLY make new topics from each of those.

However, it seems to map all h1s to new topics instead.

In paragraph mapping, I did map ChapterTitle to h1

Does Flare then ...

Thanks, pretty much what I concluded. Doing a migration and users here thought the import file worked differently than it does.

I knew tho....

Yes, and you can delete the list of source files but the topics imported are still linked - even when you copy the import file, which is what someone tried ...

Anybody notice different behaviors between the options:
>> Add Import File
>> Import something and let Flare create an import file

I'm going to test this as we're having some issues with our import files - source is missing and so can't open any of the tabs to view or modify. I can open in text ...

ah, thanks - I'll report it next time it happens
yes, I'm an admin and Flare opens as admin

Anybody know how to turn this off?
I'm turning it off in User Account control for now but don't remember this happening before so seems like it should be fixable

Tips appreciated, thanks

we were using a tripane view and just switched to a top nav, but it's not displaying

also no mini-tocs are displaying (or so I think)

Any suggestions?

javascript is used for tripane help as well as top nav, correct? that was one thought, that js is not enabled on the aws server that serves the ...

is there a setting somewhere that I can't find (as happens a lot!)?

thanks for any help

hmm, that's a thought. but it's to git repositories, unluckily...

I've had a lot of trouble with both git and flare source control integration, but maybe worth looking into again as the git tools seem pretty buggy. I really want to just ftp and replace all existing content, so in fact I should ...

I don't seem to be able to do anything but put any output to a top level (Output) > Target name

If I recall, this has always been the case. It's pretty problematic just now as I have two completely different things in there and it's getting really confusing as to where things are located.

any tips ...

I've added a custom toolbar item and want it to link to support.

I used to have this saved but don't find it, and none of the suggestions I'm reading are working.

Can anyone advise? there are a lot of ways to do this but not sure the specific flare application (and not js expert)

thanks

Is there a way to do this? I used an article but suspect it is out of date as didn't work as expected:

http://ukauthor.esy.es/SkinMods/Default.htm#Add-Header.htm

which uses this code inside the skin's toolbar javascript area:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#header>a").after('<div id="header ...
