I'm baffled by something with cross-references (I'm using them for the first time) . . . I have a document with 27 topics in it, of which 25 of the topic start with a heading 2. In topic 16, I did an Insert > Cross-Reference , then in the dialog box I selected Link to > Topic in Project , selected ...

I'm trying to use Flare's cross-reference feature for the first time, and what I'd really like to do is use cross-references to define a number range using ordered list item numbers. For example, I'd like to have have a step in my procedure that says "Repeat steps 4-7." This would eliminate ...

Flare newbie here, struggling to understand how the "print" graphics work. I am working on creating a PDF file--users can print it if they want to, but we plan to deliver the file to users as an electronic document.

I use MadCap Capture to capture the screenshots of dialog boxes and to apply a ...

Your shot in the dark worked . . . apparently those styles were defined when (default) was the selected medium, and I thought I'd been working exclusively in the Print medium.

Thank you!

Whenever I try to delete a couple of styles in my BookStyles.css, I get the error:

Exception:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Oh, thank you! The <td> had a cell vertical-align of inherit . . . once I changed that to top, everything worked. I do have the case you described--a short line in one cell, and a bunch of text in the cell to the right, so I really did need top in this case.

Thanks again!

I'm a Flare newbie, so please don't throw tomatoes at me for this question, but . . .

I have created three table classes, and in the Properties dialog box for each of the classes, I set Alignment to Top . For some reason all the text in the table is being middle-aligned, and I can't find a ...

> . . . make sure you set your styles in the appropriate medium, and not in the default medium, which will override the print and non-print mediums.

Ahhh . . . I have been using the default medium. <smacking forehead> I will go read up more on mediums as you recommended, and I'll bet that solves ...

I'm a Flare newbie, and I'm stumped over this one . . .

I set up a "master" project where I plan to maintain all style sheets, glossary, etc. for future projects. I have set up two different style sheets -- BookStyles.css and OnlineStyles.css -- which I plan to apply to printed and online projects ...
