FM style not available to map to RH style

I have mapped all of my FM styles to a RH style.  I realize that only styles contained in the current document can be mapped; however, there is a stepbulletindent style that is in my FM book that is not available to be mapped on the RoboHelp Style Mapping dialog box.

How can I map if the style is not available?

I didn't think you could map them after the fact - only when you first link them. I would try a couple of things - find the css that defines the mappings (you should see all those FM_ formats defined) and add your FM_stepsbulletindent one; or try a new project that imports the FM book(s) & see if your missing stepsbulletindent appears in the conversion mapping; or you could try copying the format to all docs in your FM book and try a Force Update to see if appears.

Is the style available in all .fm docs of the book? Maybe RH isn't seeing it if it's not available in all.

Well, I don't know that it's available in all the .fm docs in the book, but it is available in several of the topics that I copied by reference. I would think that would make it available. When I select the stepsbulletindent in a topic, it shows in the style drop-down list as FM_stepsbulletindent, which means that it wasn't mapped. But when I try to map it, it doesn't display as being available to map.
