Bad output of lists in Word

Did anyone of you run into this issue?

I need to create some lists in a Word document.
As you can see in the attached picture, it looks ugly in Word, but in PDF it is fine (as in editor).
Is this a bug?

I'm not having this problem, but I see a few others have mentioned it in another post. Are you seeing this in Flare 10 output? Did it work OK in an earlier version?

Correct, in earlier versions it was no problem.

Don't know if it's any help, but here's the thread for my problem:

The solution (thanks Ralph!) was to edit the Advanced tab of the target and turn OFF Add meta tags to content.

Hope that fixes things for you too.

Thanks, but the problem is the Word output.
I have no issues (for the moment) with HTML5).

Would you be able to adjust the settings in Word? I seem to remember having a similar problem any time I used lists, and eventually messed around with normal.dot to change how lists displayed, but it's a while back and I'm afraid I can't remember what I did.

In Word you can always adjust settings; i.e. the hanging indent, because that's where we are talking about.
But if I have to look for all these settings, making changes etc. why should I then do the job in Flare?
No, Flare should do it right. PDF is good but with the kind of projects I am working in this case that is not possible.
I will submit this issue as a bug.

I've just realised I am also having a problem with this. The first example I looked at had the lists in DIVs which worked OK, but on further examination it looks like the left margin is wrong for ordinary lists.
I'll also submit a bug (but need to do a few more trials).

The technical support was great again.
The solution is in the list style:
The property text-align in the group Block had a value and should be defaulted (not set)
I hope that for the other ones having this problem this will help.
