How to map a style sheet (.css) to a Microsoft Word template

Post by gfevrier »

The style sheet I created in Flare 7.2 does not persist when I build the printed output target (Microsoft Word). I set "p" (which would be a normal style in Word) at 10 pt font size. However, each time I build the target, the Word doc's "p" style is 12 pt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your changing the correct medium (default vs online vs print) in your stylesheet, and make sure your target is linked to that medium.

Lisa,

I figured out the problem. Somehow I had some inline formatting (called local formatting in the help docs). I set all of these to the default in each topic. I made sure the settings were correct in your suggestion and built the Word target. It looks fine now. Thanks.

Now I have the same problem in the localized Flare 7 projects. Is there a way to reset all of the styles back to "default"? I've searched here and the Web and can't find anything.

Thanks.
