Preview scrambles text (misspells)

Post by WAW »

Hi, I am reviewing Flare and I ran into a problem.

When I try to preview a topic of my (imported robohelp) project the text is totally messed up.
In the editor it all looks OK but when I preview a topic (even in the compiled project preview) things go wrong.

e.g. The text on my page (in the editor) is:
Personal configuration settings are typically stored on the following location
but when I preview the topic, it looks like this:
Personal bonfiguration setsings are typicallx stored on the follnwing location :shock:

I really have no clue what I am missing.

You seem to be running a "Trail version" which scrambles information. The Trail version replaces some characters with the next lower character in the alphabet. Your information is not scrambled after you purchase and register your copy of Flare.

Ah, that explains a lot (could not find that in the manual)
Thanks for the information

I think it tells you that when you try to build the output, but it doesn't for the Preview.

On the download Page for Flare, and when you generate, it will state that the Trial version will Scramble the output, Once the software is registered this will go away.

And just a heads up - when I was running the trial version, the scrambling also caused some links not to work correctly. This may have been fixed (I was using the trial of 2.0) but if it hasn't, don't be surprised if some content doesn't behave as expected. Again, getting a full license cleared the problem areas up completely.
Until next time....
