Hello,
I want to import a large Word-File into RH 11.
In Word i use a lot of lists with propper style templates.
Rh does natively convert them into lists but makes paragraphs from it with a bullet in front and a few blank spaces ->not what I expect.
Removing the bullet signs in Word, importing then and setting the format styles as a list with bullets in front during RH import>
RH shows that the paragraph has the correct style. But the bullets are not shown in the importet topics, the topic is still a html paragraph, no list.
When I reassign the style to the paragraph manually, it works.
But that cant be a sollution for 2000 Word-Pages...
Sample:
This is how it comes out out import:
<p class="BESAufzaehlung">Einige häufig benutzte Befehle lassen sich sehr
schnell mit einer Tastenkombination<a name="IX_Tastenkombination_1" id="IX_Tastenkombination_1"></a> ausführen,
z.B. die Tasten <span class="Tastenkombination">Strg + C</span> für Kopieren
von zuvor markierten Elementen.</p>
This it looks like when I reassign the style manually it already has
.
<?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-WD_BESAufzaehlung" style="list-style: rh-list;" ?><p
class="BESAufzaehlung">Den gesamten Befehlsumfang einer Anwendung
erreichen Sie über die Menüleiste<a name="IX_Men_leiste" id="IX_Men_leiste"></a> (siehe
Kapitel <a href="Die_Menüleiste.htm">Die Menüleiste</a><span style="color: black;">),</span>
die sowohl mit der Maus<a name="IX_Maus_9" id="IX_Maus_9"></a> als
auch mit der Tastatur<a name="IX_Tastatur_3" id="IX_Tastatur_3"></a> bedient
werden kann.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
Hope someone can help,
Thanks in advance,
Julian

Dear Peter,
thanks for your tips website.
Tried a lot, but still not successful.
I changed the word list type to numbered lists, no success.
Tried the import options "convert to html list" and "to multi level list", no success, the paragraphs are not imported as lists, but paragraphs with bullets as a editable sign, a few blanks and then the list text.
What do u mean by "map those styles to Normal"? It doesnt show that style when importing.
Thanks,
Julian

I am wondering if that is something that changed after I wrote that. I will need to look at an older version of Rh and a project that I worked on. I cannot do that today but I will get back to you.
Meantime Convert to HTML List should work. If you highlight the lists in Word, is there a gap in the highlighting between the bullet and the text?

Hey,
it is an ordinary and cleanly set up list stile in word. So when i highlight the list, only the list text, not the bullets or the space beween bullets and text is highlighted...
Just made a new Word File and set up styles -> RH import option "multi level list" worked.
Afterwards i set up a new word document template and reassigned the new template to the existing word file -> doesnt work.

I think Peter’s suggesting that the spaces between your bullet points in Word may be messing up RH’s interpretation of them.

It was more about checking that Word was seeing this as a list and Julian has confirmed that.

I did look at old versions of Rh and accept that Normal is not listed. I am baffled though as it must have done at the time I wrote that. I am wondering if some patch affected things.
If I do find anything on that point, I will post back. Meantime I have added a caution to me web page.
Did you eventually resolve your problem
