Why does my paragraph break before and after a subscript?

This is an intermittent problem occurring in the Word output. The WebHelp is fine. In the following image you can see that the subscripts worked in the early part of the paragraph, but then split.

Here is the html:

<p>where <span class="EQN_Char">q</span>_{<span class="EquationText">tot</span>}

is the total rate of heat transfer (which you supply), <span class="EQN_Char">k</span><sub><span

  class="EQN_Char">c</span></sub> is the laminar thermal conductivity

of the primary fluid in the cell, <span class="EQN_Char">ρ_c</span>

is the density of the primary fluid in the cell, <span class="EQN_Char">C_Pc</span>

is the specific heat capacity of the primary fluid in the cell, <span

  class="EQN_Emphasis">V_c</span> is the volume of the cell,

<img src="HX_EQ2a.jpg" alt="" style="border: none;" border="0" /> is the

magnitude of velocity in the cell, <span class="EQN_Emphasis">T</span><sub><span

  class="EquationText">ref</span></sub> is the reference temperature

for the heat exchanger, and <span class="EQN_Emphasis">T</span><sub><span

  class="EquationText">c</span></sub> is the temperature in the cell.

The summation in the denominator of equation 1 is carried out over all

the cells in the heat exchanger. Thus, it can be seen that the sum of

the weights for all the cells always add up to 1, so that the distribution

scheme ensures that the sum of heat transferred to all the cells in

Not quite sure why you’re posting here instead of the Printed Documentation forum…

Is there an easy way to move my question to that place? (In other words, I don’t know what I’m doing.)

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

No, only the moderator can do that – Peter may chime in ;>)

Peter's not available at the moment, but perhaps Rick can do that.

I've just run your HTML through the Word output with RoboHelp 11/Word 2013 and it worked perfectly there. Now that doesn't help, but perhaps you can try the following: instead of adding <span> tags in the <sub> tags, apply the classed directly to the <sub> element. (Don't forget to update your CSS as well.) Perhaps this will let RoboHelp correctly create the output.

|f that doesn't help, check the Word document. Which style is assigned to the separate elements in the Word documents? Perhaps we can find something in there.

Kind regards,

Willam

Done!

I found that when I publish the single file, the problem disappears. When I publish the entire book, the problem returns.

I also found that correcting the first instance of the crazy superscript fixed the rest of the output. Again, though, only in the single file--not in the book.
