Question

At wit's end. How to map 'List1' to a Word multi-level list style?

My RoboHelp 7 project uses the style 'List1' for numbered lists. I want to map this to a multi-level list style in Word 2008.

When I get to the Print Document Appearance dialog (generating Printed Documentation), the Word style does not appear. I assume this is because it's not considered to be a 'paragraph' type (rather, it's a multi-level list type).

*How* do I map this???

In a very small nutshell... my R7 topics were done using List1. If a step had sub-steps, it was indented one level (which started the indented numbering back at '1')":
for example:
1. This is a step.
>>>> 1. This is a substep.
>>>> 2. This is also a substep.
>>>> 3. Yet another substep.
2. This is also a step.

Was there a way to do the lists in R7 so that the substeps would have been labeled 'a', 'b', 'c'?
Is there a way to map the method I used (or some other method) to a Word multi-level list? (1/a/i/ etc.)

For some reason, I'm getting absolutely lost in the R7 help, and my google-fu is completely awry.

*Any* help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Best wait for Word 2008 to be launched then. :-)

Assuming you meant Word 2007, this an old issue. Take a look at the Print articles on my site. There must be a way but I gave up and haven't really tried again.

Numbers with bulleted indents might be easier.

Thanks, I'll take a look there again (I've been browsing around there over the last hour :-).

Word... oops :-) No, wait, I have a version that fell through a rift in time.
