why does an imported word doc lose the numbering

[Alison Noy]

Just imported a word doc , onto an existing page.. but it's lost all the bullet points/numbering.. it's put them all to 1.. not helpful..

I will assume that you had a doc where the number was manually set in the Word doc?

When you import, you are converting to HTML. HTML requires that an ordered list be an unbroken chain of list items. So if there are any constructs between bullet items, it breaks an ordered list, "resetting" them to 1.

thanks for answer..

i managed to convert it to pdf then attached it to a page.  (saw the work around on another thread!)

Of course it does. I thought there was a keystroke way to set the numbering or was that in the old style editor?
