FIXED: Auto-number list + first char/text tag :( in Word

[RecPerch]

FIXED: This was fixed in 2017 R2.

Could swear this worked before, but haven't used Flare since version 11 or 12. Now using 2017. But using the same CSS file from a year or two ago.

We use auto-num for number and bullet lists. When the first text of the p.Step1 or p.BulletList has a formatting tag, such as <i>text</i>, Word flips the tagged text with the number or bullet. HTML and PDF output work as expected. If there is no first-character formatting tag, all three outputs work as expected.

Thoughts?

How it appears in HTML and PDF:

1. Optional. This is text.

How it appears in Word:

Optional1.. This is text.

Code: Select all

p.Step1
{
	text-align: left;
	margin-left: .25in;
	margin-right: 0in;
	margin-bottom: 6pt;
	mc-auto-number-class: StepList;
	mc-auto-number-format: 'S:{n=1}.';
	mc-auto-number-position: outside-head;
	mc-auto-number-offset: .25in;
	text-decoration: none;
	page-break-inside: avoid;
	mc-next-tag: p;
	mc-next-class: StepNext;
}


@media Word
{
	p.Step1
	{
		text-indent: -.25in;
	}
}

Things I've tried:

• First word using html: <i>text</i>
• First word using span.class: <span class="Strong">text</span>
• Different bullet symbol. Used the letter o just to see if that would work (it didn't).

Sorry in advance for an abbreviated response.

I saw this same issue myself just yesterday in my first attempt at Word output from Flare 2017 for at least some of the styles in which I use auto-numbers. (It was at the end of the day and I have yet pursued a deeper look.) I suspect a bug. I didn't see this in Flare 12 and earlier. You might need to kick this one to MadCap.

Thanks Nita. I have an older version install package. I'll see if I can remove 2017 and load that one to test your hypothesis.

FYI. I submitted a bug report for Flare 2017.
