MadCap Software Forums

If other writers aren't having the same trouble with the same source files, you've got a problem locally. I'd do as Richard suggested and uninstall and reinstall Flare. While you're at it, you may uninstall, then delete all the MadCap registry keys, and then re-install. That way you will have a clea...

jcoria, I looked at the code on the digital river site and they are using CSS to accomplish a sort of mock-framset. In particular, they use the overflow/no-overflow properties to set styles for the body tag. If you are interested, you should open one of their topics in its own window (outside the fr...

Its also a problem if you are trying to do as nsemple is, and creating a branding scheme to be used by all writers on a project. If the color definitions are in the registry and not the project, then you have to do that on each writer's machine--a less effective method, shall we say.

I filed a similar bug just yesterday. I encourage you to do the same. My specific problem was I wanted to have a property that Word recognized that prohibits rows from breaking across page breaks.

Seems there could be a lot of improvements with Table handling in Word output.

Welcome to the forums, trusswalker.

If you would like to see support for FM8, you should submit a feature request.

Glad to hear it is working.

Let us know if you figure out how to resolve the border/scroll bar issues you describe.

I don't use pop-ups in my help system, so I can't verify for you. However, the first thing I'd do in your shoes is to log a bug, or contact the help desk (if you are a maintenance subscriber).

Like Ramon, I agree that this is a bug, but agree that the question is \"is it a Flare bug, or is it a Word bug.\"

Regardless, I don't think it is the expected behavior.

I'll keep thinking about a work around. Maybe a CSS guru will know more.

What else are you using on your system while Flare is running? I believe (not positive on this, but this is my memory) that Flare requires 512 MB of memory as a minimum standard. I am using 1 GB of RAM to give my OS some space to run and so I can run other programs as well while I'm running Flare. S...

Oh, and welcome to Flare and the Flare forums. Let us know how we can help!

Most users who complain about speed are usually trying to store files on a network and access them over the network (which is MUCH slower than working locally, especially if you have to do it over a VPN [at least, that is MY experience]). Here is what I do: I use the same version control software as...
