Removing Autonumbering when importing Word Documents

[Guest]

I am attempting to import a Word document into RoboHelp8 for HTML Help and want to eliminate the numbers used in the Word Heading styles as well as the numbers imported as text in numbered lists.  I am much more familiar with the import of FrameMaker files--for which there is an "Ignore autonumbering" option in the style conversion settings.  As for Word documents, do I have to manually remove the numbers and fix the formatting in each and every generated topic?  I'm sure it must be easier than this--am I doing something wrong?

Hi there

I'm guessing you didn't try the options I suggested to you when you asked this question over in the HATT list?

I probably clicked the wrong button, what is a HATT list? I haven't had a chance to try anything yet, sorry if I goofed something.

Thank you,

Hi again

Perhaps I'm mistaken. I replied to a Kim on the HATT (Help Authoring Tools and Techniques) list on the same issue. As the question seemed the same and someone named Kim asked, I assumed it was you!

Probably wasn't if you aren't sure what HATT is.

Basically here is what I replied with there:

In RoboHelp 8 you have new options with dealing with Word content. The whole dialog is different. Additionally, you used to only be able to
import and you were done. Now you can establish a link between Word and RoboHelp. If Word changes, Bing! RoboHelp alerts you to that little fact. You then bring the changes in and update content.

I'm guessing you have experimented with the different styling and pagination options. One thing that may trip you up is the way lists are
handled. You may need to examine the conversion settings and click the Other category (no, not the other white meat... LOL) Try enabling the Convert Word List options.

Perhaps experiment with the options and see what you get.

Cheers... Rick

Ok, glad to know I didn't goof. BTW your suggestion worked, so now all I gotta do is convince the dev guys that they need to look at their function call(s).

Thank you,
