Hiya,

Not sure if this is the official bug reporting mechanism, but if anyone has any tips about how to stop the following bug, I'd be very grateful for any answers! If exporting to word using a style mapping (I use it in table mode, applying a small arial style to the cell contents), this is lost if any requirements include bulleted lists - the lists appear as 'normal' style, with larger text. All but the last line remain arial font, except for the final one which reverts to the font associated with the normal style.

If this can be fixed, or a mechanism added that you can map bulleted text to a particular style, that would help our exporting!

Thanks very much
Ben

The following random babbling is probably not worth much. [] The "Paragraph Style" attribute of the object (table cell in this case) needs to match up exactly with a "Style" in whatever MS-Word template you are using when exporting. [] I suspect that manual bullets may not work very well if the "Style" doesn't include such bullets. [] In MS-Word, turn on showing "all" special characters (tabs, spaces, CRs). In your table cell, find out if the separators are CRs (double-stemmed backward "P"s) created with the "ENTER" key, or LFs (arrow goes down then left) created with the "Shift-ENTER" combination. There may be an issue with the export where DOORS CRs in a table cell get converted to MS-Word LFs. [] Will a normal DOORS object with this Style and bullets export OK?

I am having the same issue, but I am exporting to Word in Book format.  I have all of the DOORS "Level Object Text/Heading" items mapped to styles found in my custom template.  All objects export properly using the Word styles except for bulleted lists.  Bulleted lists always render in the "Normal" style.  BTW, I am using DOORS/ERS 7.1 with Microsoft Word 2002 (10.2627.2625) on Windows XP Pro.
