SYMPTOMS
When you insert or open a Microsoft Word file that contains bulleted
or numbered paragraphs, the bullet points or numbers may be lost when
the document is converted to Rich Text Format (RTF).
CAUSE
This data is dropped by the Microsoft Word to RTF text converters that
are shipped with FrontPage 97 and Office 97.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: If you do not have Word 97
Select the imported list and reapply the bullets or numbering by
choosing Bullets And Numbering on the Format menu in FrontPage Editor.
Method 2: If you have Word 97
In Word 97, save the file as Rich Text Format, close the file and then
import it into FrontPage Editor.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
In FrontPage, documents are converted to HTML in two steps: First, the
document is converted from its native format to RTF. Next, the document is
converted from RTF to HTML using a separate converter.
