Hi, there is a formatting inconsistency occurring with numbered bullets when editing Word documents.

The original word document contains some numbered lists.

Can you please provide more details about the specific formatting inconsistencies you are experiencing with the numbered bullets in the Word documents?

Hi, I would like to add that we have identified the source of the problem: these lists were originally created using the Google Docs editor.

Hi Sara,

Please explain what do you mean? GroupDocs.Editor is by essence a UI-less library with programmatic API only, and it cannot create list by itself. Maybe you’re used some web-GUI to create a document with lists, and then saved this HTML to the DOCX using Editor.save() method? Or you mean something else, which I don’t understand at all? Please explain.

Waiting for your reply.

With best regards,
Denis Gvardionov

I’m referring to the process of creating a new EditableDocument object. The file from which the content is taken was originally created in Google Docs, not a file created in MS Word.

Editor editor = new Editor(new FileInputStream(filePath), options);
            EditableDocument editableDocument = editor.edit(new WordProcessingEditOptions(false));

once we get the embeddedHtml the lists do not retain the original numbering.

Thanks!

Now I see - the problem actually is in the EditableDocument instance and HTML-markup, emitted from it — the list is already broken there, in HTML, where all items have a “1” number. So the real problem is not in a backward HTML-to-DOCX conversion, but in the forward DOCX-to-HTML conversion, which generates corrupted HTML. The same bug also is present in the .NET version of the GroupDocs.Editor, we will fix it for both of them.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

With best regards,
