Numbered Lists Converts To Bullet Upon Generating

The title says it all. My numbered lists convert to bulleted lists when I generate my project. I'm using a custom skin from the skin gallery and I suspect that plays a role in this.

    Hi,

    I guess that your project is a project you created in RoboHelp 7 or earlier right? And that this problem only appeared after you upgraded. Be sure to read http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/lists/lists.htm. If that doesn’t solve your problem, please post back.

    Greet,

    Thanks for your reply. Actually, I created this with RH 9 and I solved the issue by copying a style sheet from a sample project into my project. I formatted the styles and figured out how to create a numbering list (from a paragraph style); this created style does not convert to bullet points.

    and if you pick another skin, does it make any difference?

    Actually, I just checked and it doesn't matter which skin (default or custom), the numbers convert to bullets. I noticed that with custom lists, this does not happen, but I cannot get the list to behave the way I want (e.g. hanging indent).

    You'll need to edit your css to ensure they are handled correctly and formatted the way you want them to appear.
