Hmmm. OK I'll try these.

But first a dumb question: What do you mean by your second suggestion "run your FM content through a FM template first before coming over to RH". Do you mean importing the styles (paragraph, character, table, etc) of a standard FM file that I've created that has all the styles I might use in a document? This I've done, and it includes the aforementioned ListNumber1 and ListNumber+ paragraph styles. I should think these 2 styles would be all I need to set up an (importable?) autonumbered paragraphs.

Thanks.

Try just letting the FM list come over as Text.

Or, run your FM content through a FM template first before coming over to RH

Or, map to a multilevel RH list style & use the CSS to manipulate

Hi. I have an issue whereby when I import an unstructured FM (v12) document into RH (v11) project, autonumbered lists in the FM files don't have correct numbering after the import.

The following describes 2 import tests I've done. (In the FM doc, lists start with a paragraph that have ListNumber1 style (<n=1>) and the remaining list items have the ListNumber+ style (<n+>).)

Import test 1:

I configure the import for ListNumber1 and ListNumber+ paragraphs to Convert autonumber to Multilevel list.
I leave the Robohelp Style mapping to the default ([Source]).
Perform the import.

RESULT: All items in the list in the output are numbered "1.".

Import test 2:

As in test 1, I configure the import for ListNumber1 and ListNumber+ paragraphs to Convert autonumber to Multilevel list.
For the RoboHelp Style mapping, I map ListNumber1 and ListNumber+ to BodyLevel1 (a built-in option).
Perform the import.

RESULT:None of the paragraphs in the output have any numbering at all.

Your help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
