Word XP and RoboHelp X5

[Eric the Red]

I am using RoboHelp X5 and Word 2002. I produced a Web Help file in
RH, then used its Single Source Layout Printed Documentation to
produce a Word version of the Web Help file.

In the print output file in Word, my start location for numbered lists
changes from 1.75" to 1.5" whenever it comes after a bullet (also set
at 1.75"). If I correct any of the bad numbered list items to 1.75", I
either lose all of my numbering or else all of my number ones are gone
and and I have a huge doc full of continuous numbers. To get the
number ones back at the beginning of each step list, I need to
manually restart each one, and this is a 374 page document.

I have never had a problem with numbering in RoboHelp, but have had
tons of similar numbering problems with Word going back to the year
2000. I believe the problem lies in Word XP and not RoboHelp X5. I
don't know if anybody out there has this same problem and a solution,
but I'd be happy to hear whatever might be considered to solve it.

Thanks.

G'day (e-mail address removed) (Eric the Red),

if you send me the final doc I'll have a look at it and suggest fixes,
otherwise I'd highly recommend the yahoo group HATT.
