Now here is a book that we can all use – beginner and expert alike!

This book guides readers, step-by-step, through the intricacies of MadCap Flare. The chapters include information on:
• how to get started with Flare
• a thorough tour of the user interface
• a wonderful explanation of the XML Editor
• how to develop content which includes adding lists, tables, images, symbols, local formatting, and use of style sheets
• creating Tables of Contents, links, cross references, and index entries
• creating print output for Word, FrameMaker, PDF, XPS, and XHTML output
• creating online output

Seven appendices offer a goldmine of information on importing content, additional XML Editor reference topics, setting up context-sensitive help, troubleshooting Flare, and using Flare effectively for for single-sourcing.

As I read through this 300+ page guide it helped fill in a lot of “blanks” I had in my knowledge of Flare – even though I’ve been using Flare from Version 1.0! I can’t over emphasize how good this guide is! For beginners it’s an easy-to-use guide that will get you from knowing nothing about Flare to creating effective output. Once you’ve gone through the guide, expert and novice alike will want to keep it handy as a terrific resource.
