Generate Multiple Documents in MS Word

Post by Michelle_Gardner »

Hello, all. I created a TOC that has folders and sub-folders for a total of 87 topics. I set a Chapter Break for each topic in this TOC. In the Word target, I specified my Master TOC and, in the Advanced tab, selected Generate Multiple Documents in MS Word Output. The build went fine, but when I opened the build, all I got was two pages of file names like it was one big TOC in Word. Where are my individual files?

Hi Michelle,

Were the documents all generated to the output folder?
This should be <path to project folder>/<projectname>/Output/<username>/ folder. If you right click the completed build in the Builds list and choose Open Output Folder. All successfully built files should be in this folder.

Cheers,
Rob

:oops: I'm so conditioned to double-click on the finished build, that it never occurred to me to check THE OUTPUT FOLDER. What a dunce I can be! Thank you, Rob. That's exactly where they are.

Hi, Michelle!

I know this is an old topic, but do you by any chance know how to make Flare NOT generate this Word document with a list of the file names?

I don't have a use for this file, and it's being published to my destination along with the other individual documents, and I don't want that.
