Word bullets import to different style in RH8 HTML

so I'm importing my word doc with all my styles just to test outputs and make sure everything looks ok,

but i'm having a problem.

My bullet style in Word imports and even though it is set to be the same from the import all uses of the style become different styles bulletCxSpfirst, Middle and Last. The formatting on this is slightly different and I want it to match our style guidelines. I can't seem to shake it, Iforce the style in the import, I have re-created the style several times, in new docs and the same thing keep happening. Has anyone else ever come across this?

The only thing I can think of is to format the CSS and template styles so they are the same, but this gives me 4 styles all displaying the same, a bit redundant and potentially problematic in the future.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Sorry for my other post, by rereading your post, I seem to have been confused. -- Apart from the question why you would want to import a Word document, you can simply merge the styles in your style sheet.

Well, currently I have a huge 500+ page doc, that I've spent a week styling.

But before I import it and start working with it in RH, I want to make sure the styles etc are all mapping and sisplaying correctly.

I've made my Styles.dot file with all the styles set up, So far I import to the doc into RH, and RH seems to map all the styles perfectly, except the bullets style, and now im noticing funny things with the number style too.

The CSS made from the import seems good, except these other styles which are creeping in and applying themselves to the doc.

How do I merge styles? and how will this help me?

cheers.

Hi,

500+ pages, how did it come so far, I wonder. Is it impressive, or just plain Word-torture

'Merging styles' is just a trick. Instead of having three styles with the same (or almost the same) style, simply create one style and add multiple classes to it:

bullitStyle1, bulletStyle2, bulletStyle3, and so on.

You can apply these three styles separate, but they have the same styling. This is just a quick fix for styles, it doesn't solve your import problem. You quickly set the different styles to the same (correct) style.

I have a rather troubled relation with Word (mostly how others style the documents they send me) and I would never import a word document... But in your case it makes sense.
