Bullets/styles in Robohelp 8

We just upgraded to Robohelp 8. We use a style sheet that we created. Some of the styles have bullets or numbering a,b,c, and so on. Now that we are on Robohelp 8, it is replacing these bullets and letters with regular numbers. So a topic that previously was 1,2,3,a,b,c,4 is now 1,2,3,4,5,6,4

We found that we can go into every topic that is numbered with these bullets or letters and select the option Bullet Positioned within Paragraph in Bullets and Numbering. This fixes the problem but we'll have to go thru every single topic we have to find them. We have over 14,000 topics in one of our help files so this is not an option.

There's more....when looking at the topic in Design mode, the bullets appear as we styled them. You can only find these problems in the view mode where you've click on the eyeglasses to view or the build output.

Can someone help me here? I'm ready to go back to Robohelp 6. This sucks.

Our solution was to go back to RoboHelp 7.

See Using RoboHelp 8 on my site. There is a lot of information there about getting your lists working properly.

I agree that this "enhancement" sucks. I upgraded and all my simple bullet lists are hosed - they show numbers instead of bullets.

Changing it back is not simple or intuitive at all. I wish we had never upgraded.

Please do take a moment and complete a Bug Report so that Adobe is advised. (Link is in my sig)

Can you post the CSS just for the styles that are not working as designed?
