Remaining Questions From Remote Flare Course

Sorry about the delay, folks. Here are the answers to the remaining questions…

How to control the indent of a table – To set a global indent, open the Stylesheet Editor, select the tr style, open the Box properties group, and set the indent by using the margin-left property. To set an indent for one table, or one group of tables, create a new style class under the tr style, such as “table indent style 1” or the like, then select the new style, open the Box properties group, and set the indent by using the margin-left property.

Find Results window not displaying – If you recall, the Find Results window didn’t open when I ran a search in the advanced course. This was due to some undetermined layout setting. To fix this, reset your layout to the default (Window > Layouts > Reset Window Layout…) and try the search again. The Find Results window should display perfectly at the bottom of the screen.

Is there a “Keep With Next” or “Keep With Previous” setting for print out- put to prevent two page elements from splitting across a page break, such as keeping a paragraph and a numbered list together? – Yes, but it’s not labelled as such. In the Stylesheet editor, open the PrintSupport properties group for the style that you’re formatting and select either the always or avoid value, as needed, for either the page-break-before or page-break-after property, as needed.
