Changing style for ensuing lines when you hit Enter
When I have created a style, say Note, I want the ensuing line to revert to Normal when I press Enter. I can't really figure out where to set the seting for this.

There isn't an option to do that. It's not a stylesheet option that I'm aware of (not that I have all styles memorized), so it would have to be an option added in the program itself. You can submit a request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx.

There's a couple of these types of issues that would really speed up editing of content in Flare, and this is a big one for me.Mette Nyberg wrote:When I have created a style, say Note, I want the ensuing line to revert to Normal when I press Enter.

Keyboard shortcuts for styles is another one. I use a lot of styles in Word, but I never have to select them manually, each one has a shortcut.

That's interesting. I've never used that option in Word. I just keep the Styles and Formatting pane open in Word and click on a style if it's something other than the Normal style.MikeKatz wrote:I use a lot of styles in Word, but I never have to select them manually, each one has a shortcut.
Being able to set shortcut keys, even record custom action sequences like in Photoshop, would definitely help productivity. Make sure you put in a feature request.

What is your "Normal" tag? If it is, for example, p.Body, add this to the note style in your stylesheet:

Potential p.note Example in Stylesheet:mc-next-class: BodyText;
mc-next-tag: p;
EDIT: Note, I do not THINK these tags are definable in the Flare interface, which would mean you must define them manually in the .css file.p.note
{
font-size: 1em;
margin: 1em 1em .5em 2em;
mc-next-class: Body;
mc-next-tag: p;
}
Best,
Dan G.

I use <Ctrl> + <Shift> along with a key:
1/2/3/4 = Headings 1-4
P = Procedure heading
+ = Numbered list
L = List
and so on. Combining this with setting the next styles as per the original poster, makes it even better. So, for example, after the procedure heading, the numbered list is the next style automatically.
This makes for superfast editing, and allows me to focus on the content while I'm also formatting the document almost unconsciously.
I've put the request in for the next style before, I can't remember if I also requested the shortcut keys, so I'll do it again.
By the way, thanks for the very many informative posts and the time you put into this forum, you are a true educator!
