Imported Word 2010 into RH8 Question

[Extremeboarder]

I just imported several Word 2010 docs into a new project.  There is a dotted box around the content (see image and ignore the blue outline):

Does anyone know why the content is in this box as opposed to there not being a box at all?  Does it create any issues with the output of the content?

If you look at the HTML you will find RoboHelp has created a DIV tag for reasons not known. It should be OK to remove the tag but make a backup of your project first, just in case.

Thanks Peter.  Not sure why the div tag is created either.  Is it common to create one css file and assign it to all of the imported files.  I have styles added to my Word doc but added all of those styles to the css and made sure they were all defined prior to clicking 'OK' for the imports.  For the most part they appear to be in descent order.  Is this how you would handle something like this?

RoboHelp always creates a new CSS that it attaches to topics created from an import. You can select all of them in the Topic List and then right click to select Topic Properties and change the CSS used. Post back if things don't look right.
