Duplicated list item when bold
Feb 18, 2013
Hi Heroes,
Here's a strange one!
I have a numbered list (numbered manually).
I set the list to fly in by first level paragraph - that works fine.
But any line that contains a bold word flies in twice -- once at the desired time and then again when the next list item flies in. What's that about?
In my steps, I use bold for names of buttons or commands... Click View, or click Edit.
I tested by removing the bold formating from one of the lines, and sure enough -- just one fly in.
Any idea why this is happening?
Certainly curious,
Judith

Hi Judith,
Not sure I've set my text file up exactly the way you have, but I'm not able to reproduce this with the information you posted.
Can you take a look at this please? Is that similar to how you have yours set up?
Hi Christine,
It looks the same, but I can't see behind the scenes.
I typed the numbers manually, instead of using the auto-numbering.
After each line I added a blank line, and formatted it to a smaller size.
This puts a little space between each numbered item (1.5 is too much, and default is too little).
I also tried this without putting the blank lines in.
Must not want me to use manual lists!
Hi Judith,
I added the numbers manually, too (personally I prefer doing this.. I don't really know why!). I didn't try it with the additional lines, or sizes, however.
Can you share the file? Or recreate this in a new one, so I can check it out?
Thanks!
Christine -- with further testing I find that the problem only occurs when I add the blank line between listed items -- whether I number the list manually or use the auto-numbering.
Strange symptom!
Thanks.
Well, I had assumed adding that additional spacing would cause this to happen.. again, though, I'm not seeing it. Odd, indeed!
Here's the published version.
I'm attaching a file, if you don't mind taking a look and telling me if you see the same thing.
I added a manual number list with the following:
Thanks!

Here's my file. Don't know what's different -- it sounds like you did everything I did.
Oops, getting Server Not Found error.
I'll put it in my DropBox
I looked at yours, and it seems to have everything that mine does. Hmmm - a mystery!
Hey Judith,
Sorry - I don't see notifications for post edits, so I didn't realize you posted some additional information. Glad I checked back!
Maybe you can send it over to our tech team, so we can test it out? I know the limit on the forums can be a bit of a hassle, sorry about that! If this is a bug, we definitely want to get a good look at it.
Thanks again,
Christine
