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 Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and Microsoft Office 2000.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use method appropriate for your situation.

Method 1: If you do not have Word
With your page open in Page view, select the imported list and reapply the bullets or numbering by clicking Bullets And Numbering on the Format menu.

Method 2: If you have Word
In Word, save the file as Rich Text Format, close the file, and then import it into FrontPage.



MORE INFORMATION
In FrontPage, documents are converted to HTML in two steps:


 * 1) The document is converted from its native format to RTF.
 * 2) Next, the document is converted from RTF to HTML using a separate converter.
