Double Bullets and Numbering in Word

Issue

Getting double bullets and numbering in Word.

Solution

Double bullets and numbering are happening because you have Word's Auto Formatting features turned on.

To eliminate auto formatting of bullets and numbers by Word:

  1. On the Word side of your project, choose FORMAT

  2. Choose "AutoFormat "

  3. Click the "Options" button

  4. On the "AutoCorrect " dialog box go to the " Autoformat tab"

  5. Uncheck "Automatic bulleted lists"

  6. On the "Autoformat As You Type" tab, uncheck "Automatic bulleted lists" and "Automatic numbered lists"

To prevent problems with bullets and numbering, use the styles in the Robohelp.dot template called "Topic Text Numbered" and Topic Text Bulleted . These styles have been especially formatted for this purpose.
