getting a topic from project A to display in project B

[jaybird]

I am using Flare 5 to create Webhelp and PDFs. I would like to include some topics from Project A in Project B by linking to them from Project B, so that these included topics display in the output (PDF). Haven't found what I'm looking for in Flare Help (e.g., the topic Links to External Files doesn't seem appropos). My search of the Forum DB gave me the usual "your search words are too generic" so couldn't find anything on this. Is this possible?

You could use global linking.
It may be a good idea to rename the file name of these topics with some logical preceding characters. That makes setting up the import file easier.
The only thing for you to do is to run the import file again if you change these topics in Project A.

A google search works better for searching the forums - http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 114#p45836

What is "global linking"? I don't find that by searching the Flare help. Thank you! UPDATE: I did a slightly different search and did find it...thanks for the info.

it's called "global project linking" - http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... ishing.htm

it can be used to make a "template" project with styles and targets and skins and then link to each of them in your real project. i have one stylesheet set up in my global project so all my changes will be applied to all my other projects automatically (i don't have to make 1 style change in every project).
