Numbering does not translate in MS Word Output

It's only a bug if it is something that Adobe can fix rather than it being down to the way Word works with strict code, in other words there's nothing they can do about it. That is what I am trying to find out. That will get a quicker answer.

Once we know that, then is the time to file a bug report, or not. If you file it now, then it's duplicated effort from Adobe. 

I will let you know what I learn either way, hopefully within a day or two weekend aside.

Peter,
I was just trying to be helpful with a bug report. I would appreciate it if you would look into it first and advise me if it can be fixed or not.

As you wish. I was going to try to find out if it can be fixed or if it is because of what I suggested, proprietary code that was in Classic that cannot be replicated when using strict code. The strict use means the anyone can use any HTML5 or CSS3 in source view to achieve whatever they want.

Let us know what response you get to the bug report.

To me its a bug.  HTML5, PDF, and Classic have no issue with it.  I will log it if I should.  Thank you for checking.

It did work in Classic but Classic used proprietary HTML and maybe that was used to fix things in the Word output. 2019 uses strict HTML5 and CSS3 and maybe the same "fix" is not supported with that restriction. It could be a bug but I don't see it listed.

Right now though we have both found the same thing so that's the way it is for now.

I will see if I can find out more.

I don't understand.  The second listing should be 3-7, not starting again at 1-4.  You told the second list to start at 3 (Word should understand this in the RoboHelp output, right?).

Why would it be one way in the HTML5 and PDF outputs, but now obeyed when output to Word.

I just created a topic with a list numbered 1 to 3, then a few normal paragraphs, then I added another list that initially was numbered 1 to 4 but I restarted the number and got 3 to 7. So far so good in that test.

In Word I got two lists 1 to 3 and 1 to 4, which is what would have happened had I created the same content in Word.

It's not quite the same test as yours but close enough, I think. If you get the same, that confirms it.

I think in your earlier thread I said something along the lines of if the Word format suits.

At least in Word, when you right click, you don't have to think about what number it should be. There's a Continue Numbering option that works it out.
