RE: Creating new "files" in Blaze

["Sharon Burton" <sharon -at- anthrobytes -dot- com>]

Perhaps you were working with an older version of Flare? It's pretty clear
in Blaze and has been from Version 1.0.

Perhaps it's worth taking a new look at. We also have several recorded
webinars about topic-based authoring and some short demo-like ones about it
as well. Go to www.madcapsoftware.com and then go to the Demos section.

These should help you start getting moving in the topic-based paradigm
thinking. It can be a shift.

OK - Current Husband is starting to make dinner! Off I go.
