I am confused, possibly about how to create an outline in Word and then how
to import one into DBT. I sent approximately this question to DBT tech
support and received no answer to it, so maybe it is unanswerable?
to illustrate, I created a five-paragraph Word document. The first
paragraph was in list, the second and third in list2, the fourth in list3,
and the fifth in list styles. This is my understanding of how one creates
an outline in Word, but I confess to not understanding the effect of
setting the various outline levels in the Paragraph dialog box off Word's
Format menu.
Even if my understanding of outline creation is defective, I could imagine
using the process I describe to create some kind of stepped list. The
results obtained when importing this sample document into DBT are a little
odd. I understand some of them, but are they really the results we want?
The first paragraph imports to the list. style.
Then we get a blank line (as the style dictates,) and the second paragraph
imports into lutline.
The third paragraph, identical in style to the second, imports to outline
level 2.
the fourth goes to outline level 3.
Then we get a blank line and return to list. since the fifth is in list style.
Are all the problems here with my assumptions and expectations, or is there
something needing alteration?
If I wanted to create an outline in Word and have it imported into DBT, how
would I do it?
