Question

Numbers missing from second half of printed document

Here is a mystery for you. I have converted my rather large help project to a very large Word document and then PDF. The interesting behavior I am seeing is that about halfway through the document the numbers and bullets have disappeared. We have put the numbers and bullets in the same throughout the project but in the second half of the document they are missing. They are in place in the first half of the document.

The project has been around since RoboHelp X.5 and is now in RoboHelp 8. The projects are intermixed with what release they were created in. The document is 2334 pages long and I lose numbering and bullets after page 1133.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nita

I believe the scale of the doc might be the issue.

Could you generate several smaller Word files and join them, or wait until all of them have been converted to PDF, and join those?

Try a sample that includes, for example, the first half of the content in your original second half (that is, from 1100 to 1800).

Good luck,

Leon

Entirely with Leon, that is one massive document. There are limits to a DOC file albeit difficult to measure.
