Formatting the "Number" in numbered lists

Report · Dec 29, 2008

OK - I have a one page Framemaker 8 document that I'm pulling into RH7 as a test. After LOTS of playing, I have gotten everything PERFECT but one problem: the font on my numbered lists in RH is Verdana 8 (as it should be), but the font of the actual NUMBERS on the list is Times New Roman - only in Preview or compiled view.

In "Style Settings" I have checked off "Convert AutoNumber to HTML List". In "Style Mapping" I have my Framemaker numbered styles linked to a Normal (Verdana 8pt) style.

When I update from Framemaker, the text in the RH Design pane looks great - the numbers in the list are Verdana 8. When I preview or compile the page, however, the numbers change to Times New Roman.

I have discovered that when I switch to the "fmstyles.css", everything looks perfect even in preview mode. However, when I force an update from Framemaker, the custom .css gets recreated and reapplied.

HELP! Please tell me I am not going to have to keep switching .css files anytime I import a file from Framemaker.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Chris

I recently encountered this myself. In the FrameMaker - RoboHelp Style Mappings window, click Styles. In the list of styles, open Other, and modify the style for Lists.
