Error - numbered paragraphs

Hi!

I have a tricky problem. Has anyone had this before?

In the Word file that is the result of the "translation to Word," numbers started appearing next to the paragraphs.

After translating the column and importing it back into Storyline, those numbers also get pulled in and have to be manually removed on the screens. It's extremely time-consuming — is there any way to prevent this?

    I have not seen this issue myself but I suspect it's just another effect of the "Word is the all powerful documentation tool" approach. When I have had other docs exported as Word files and then need to reimport them elsewhere, other artifacts like this have appeared. What I generally do is to copy the content, paste it into a text editor such as Notepad++, then copy it back into Word (or the target application). Passing the content through a text editor removes all the extraneous (auto)formatting that seems to be layered into any Word document.

    Notepad++ can be accessed here, and it's free.
