Subject:Re: numbered lists, bullets in Robohelp 4.0 From:"Bergen, Jane" <janeb -at- ANSWERSOFT -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 5 Nov 1997 11:53:29 -0600
Horror stories??? No way. I use RoboHelp 4.0 on Windows 95 with Word 95.
Never had a problem with bullets or numbered lists (or much else, for
that matter). Now, I DO, however, use STYLES for bullet lists ("Topic
Text Bullet") and numbered lists ("Topic Text Numbered") rather than
just using the MSWord bullet and number icons. I think that most of the
people reporting problems may have just used "Normal" style and just
pressed the bullet or number icon on the toolbar.
By the way, I have more than one bullet style and it has never been a
problem. Just stick with the standard fonts and you'll be fine.
