Did you map your new style so that Duxbury knows it's H1? If not, open a
document that contains your custom style and use SWIFT's style mapper.
Depending on your use of this custom style, you may want to edit the
associated .mws file so that your custom style contains the lines:
AggregateForward = IfSameName
AggregateBackward = IfSameName
Otherwise, your custom style will map to H1, but every paragraph will be
surrounded by its own set of <h1.> tags and you'll get the associated blank
line after each.
Take care.

I use styles and standard formatting as much as possible in applications as
I also work with tagged PDF and converting documents to this format.
One note about Duxbury, is that if you create a custom style based on MS
heading 1, that style will be ignored even though it was created properly in
Word. I use custom headings for Karlen Communication documents and they are
created based on the MS headings, but when I insert a file with my custom
headings, none of them come through...the standard ones do on a consistent
basis.
Not sure why this is since the underlying "code" would still be heading 1,
the attributes of heading 1 have changed, but the underlying "based on:" is
the standard MS headings.

One thing that I've found works well, and has actually been mentioned on
this list, (though not very recently), is to utilize more of the formatting
styles in Word itself. For example, this morning I was creating a document
that had a lot of sections and sub-sections. Instead of just writing the
titles and bolding manually or whatever, I chose to apply the heading 1 or 2
styles, (under the format menu and then styles). If the document is
formatted in Word using these styles, I've found that it imports quite
nicely into Duxbury. I was quite impressed with the results. Just a
thought. To me, it's just as important to start off with a well-formatted
Word document so that there isn't as much reformatting once it is imported
into Duxbury.
