Flare 10 Word target is not indenting tables within lists

Post by Paul Griffiths »

I seem to have discovered a serious bug in Flare 10 and I just wanted to check with you guys in case I'm missing something really obvious.

I have a project with Word target that I can build in Flare 10 and Flare 9.

In Flare 9, tables within lists (ordered or unordered) are indented as they should be.

In Flare 10, the tables are all flush against the left margin.

Remember, this is the same project, just different versions of Flare.

Anyone else seeing this?

UPDATE 30 Jan: MadCap have confirmed that this is a bug.

I ran into this, as well. Does anyone know whether this bug has been fixed in v.11?

I just tested it for you. It seems to still be broken in Flare 11.

Hrm, for what it's worth, I tried to see if I could find a workaround with a Word-only stylesheet and complex selectors, but whatever I did, those tables would just not move. Looks like this one is pretty much entirely in MadCap's hands to fix from what I can see.

Thank you for checking into this.

After I complained on Twitter about this, MadCap did get back to me with a Flare 12 workaround.

If you wrap the table in a div, it should indent correctly in a Word target.
