You may have interesting experiences in store, if you use automatic
numbered lists in RH5, and use the "hardcopy generation" feature of the
package.
From results we've got so far, looks like RoboHelp is inserting actual
text numbers -- they come out alongside the "automatic" ones, so every
item is double-numbered.
