Help! Converting .doc to .htm loses bullets
Hi:
I have a .doc file (actually many of them) and they use a common template file. I have formatted almost everything using styles. When I look at my .doc files in word (word 2000 in an XP environment) I see the bulleted text (that I made bulleted by using the List Bullet style. The problem is when I convert to HTML or compact HTML. I lose the bullets (the text is there, but the bullets are gone from the Web view. This also happens when I do a web page preview. The text is there, but the bullets are missing. I think there is something wrong with my template file. When I create a sample list bullet using Normal.dot and do a web view it does show the bullets. Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly. Please remember that my own template does show the bullets when in .doc view. Thank you, Barry |

Help! Converting .doc to .htm loses bullets: Update
Hi:
I changed some things and the bullets come out tiny. I have modified them to be symbol of larger size. So looking at this in web preview and it looks OK. So things sorted themselves out. There will be other problems... I hope you're around to help. All the best, Barry Barry wrote: Hi: I have a .doc file (actually many of them) and they use a common template file.

Hi Barry:
Once you get your file into HTML, take a look at the Style sheet that Word writes up the top of the file. That's where your problem is. Normally, I would delete the entire Style element and attach a CSS style sheet at that point.
