Title: Imported bullet & num list styles do not show
Post by: Kobus on August 10, 2006, 12:22:35 am

I've created a rtf template in Word and imported it in EA. In the template I've specified special styles for bullet & numbered lists. The thing is however that when I use these styles the first entry will always start with a @ and the next ones with A., B., C. etc.

Why does EA not show the bullet or number specified in the style? When I look in the list overrides it all looks fine. (does anyone know how these overrides work?)

I want to use the specific styles to make sure that when integrating EA generated reports with my own Word documents, they are based on the same template and look the same.

Any thoughts anyone?

greetings,

Kobus.

What I do is to prepare a Styles template with styles of same names as in our brand Word template. I define only names for this style - nothing more. When I prepare new template I just start from this one and attach styles I need. Generate. In a word brand template based document I insert generated file as a link.
If your word template is well defined, it should work.

The thing is however that when describing (use case) scenario's I want to refer to some steps by its number. Using your option however does not show the numbers when writing in EA.

I know of the suggestion of defining "text labels" in the use case to which to refer, but I always use the use case scenario's as a description of an activity diagram. Numbering the activities and use case steps the same makes it for the reader much more transparent of what is going on; and after all it's the reader/user we're writing for!
