Formatting lost when viewing or generating layout

  • July 6, 2011

I have a few topic pages which use the same CSS throughout the entire project.

It seems when I copy text from Word the formatting becomes embedded? and when I apply the correct style the format does not change.

OR

The format looks fine in design view but when previewed or generated the font formatting is changed.

I don't know enough about HTML code to see if there's something incorrect.

<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript"
        language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<h1>Attachments</h1>

The word attachments in the design view is in the correct format for Heading 1 - purple in color - when previewed or generated the font color changes to black.

Any ideas?

    You say you have created the same result in a new project. Please zip up that project and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site.

    In your CSS file several of the styles have the colour incorrectly defined. For Heading 1 the colour is defined as

    color: 5A2D7F;

    It should be

    color: #5A2D7F;

    Add the hash sign to your CSS for any style where it is missing and you should be OK.

    1. Above the body text do you see anything that might be related to styles?
    2. Using the same CSS in a new single topic project, do you get the same result if you paste text in?
    3. In that new project, do you get the problem if you import a topic from your real project?

    Hi

    1. Image of top code attached.

    2. Same result in new project new topic simply using the default text once format is applied.

    3. Copied topic from original and same problem occurs.

    Seems to be only heading 1 - the rest of the formatting is ok.

    Thanks

    Hi

    I was not online and didn't realize the email reply with attachment would not work.
