I have different projects (creating help content for different software products),and I would like to share a stylesheet so that it can be used by all of my projects. Does anyone have an idea how I could do this best?
I noticed for example, that when I create a new topic, the stylesheet selector at the bottom doesn't list any stylesheets outside the project.

Re: Using external stylesheet
For the current version of Flare (v3.1) you have to copy the files from one project to another. We have set up a project template here with our style sheets included which makes it quite easy for new projects. We have 25+ projects and don't find a real problem with the manual copy/paste method.

Re: Using external stylesheet
You can put your stylesheet in (for WinXP) \My Documents\My Templates\StyleSheets so it will be available in Projects > Add Stylesheet and then the My Templates option.

Re: Using external stylesheet
That's fine when you want to copy a certain stylesheet into every new project, but that's not really what I'm looking for.
What I would like is one central stylesheet that would be used by all projects, existing and new. That way I only have to update one stylesheet to align all projects to any new design guidelines.

Re: Using external stylesheet
We could be in luck - Blaze seems to be using a similar feature...
