There are several ways that you can import files into Flare projects.
Following are a few of the most common types of imported files:
- Word You can import Microsoft Word documents, including DOC, DOCX, and RTF files. Flare Desktop tightly integrates with Word, using modern XML data flow techniques and leveraging the Microsoft XML Schema for Office documents. This allows for superior content fidelity during import.
- Excel You can import Microsoft Excel files into Flare projects. They can be imported into existing projects or when creating a new project. The spreadsheet content will be added to tables in Flare Desktop when the import is finished.
- HTML You can import HTML files, automatically converting them to XHTML.
- Confluence If you have an Atlassian Confluence account, you can import pages (HTM and resource files) into Flare projects. You can import these files into a new Flare project or an existing one. Flare Desktop supports both the cloud and local versions of Confluence.
- Markdown Markdown is a markup language using plain formatting syntax. You can import Markdown (.md) files into Flare projects. This might be necessary, for example, if software developers or subject matter experts write content in Markdown and you want to include that information in your Flare project.
- FrameMaker You can import Adobe FrameMaker documents, including BOOK, FM, or MIF files. Because you can import the source FrameMaker BOOK and FM files (rather than just MIF files), Flare Desktop has full access to FrameMaker variables, conditionals, autonumbering, and so on. This means that those features are converted to Flare seamlessly.
