All,

FYI, I've worked with the folks at Madcap Flare...and they provided us with a patch for this bizarre bug. thanks to everyone for some comments and suggestions of what to do. But the Flare folks came through and we are now up and running again.

Cheers,
K

A year ago, we started publishing our online library of legal documents with Madcap Flare...but we've discovered a couple of weird bugs with that tool that have caused us to lose confidence in that tool (for example, if you have a bulleted list with a footnote at the end of the last list item, Flare automatically deletes that final list item).
