RoboHelp 2022 doesn't show topic CSS styles after upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade to RoboHelp 2022. I am outputting a Word document and I map styles from my topic CSS file to Word styles. This worked fine in RoboHelp 2020. But in RoboHelp 2022, I no longer see the styles from my topic CSS file in the RoboHelp Style column, so I can't complete my mappings and the output document doesn't look like it should.

Adobe have confirmed there is a bug that will be fixed.

The order that i have given you that is on my site is correct but the bug means the topic.css is being ignored no matter what the Exclude setting is. For now, copy your topic.css into content.css and choose the Use RoboHelp Style option.

RoboHelp 2022 introduced templates. I wonder if the issue is related to that. See https://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/rh2022/outputs/RH2022_Word_Templates.htm

Yes, I thought it might have to do with that. I see that the template has a style sheet but it doesn't have the style sheet I have applied to my topics. It is just a general "layout" style sheet.

Is this setting selected? That would block the topic css styles.

Also you can edit the template CSS files.

The UI is terrible, but there is actually a scroll bar available in the popup menu. Took me 15 minutes just then to discover it...

I think I know what scrollbar you mean. My problem isn't selecting the styles in the word template though. My problem is that I can't see the styles in my topic css. This is all I see. I was expecting to see a lot more styles listed on the left so that I can map them.
