Detail

Work-around

Not all Word paragraph style options are used by HTML

Word style properties we use are:

Colour (see below)

Font, including size

Numbering

Alignment - left/right/center

Bold

top & bottom margin

Text indent

All other aspects of the Word paragraph style are ignored

Simplify the Word Paragraph settings in Word to only use these aspects of the paragraph.

Text colours

Fixing text colors is a proving a challenge, as Word saves its text colors in a private format.

If you use unusual colors, be prepared to make some changes to them so that they render in HTML correctly. Some work fine, others randomly different. We're still working on this one!

Images inside Inline tables

Not possible to put an EA image (in a DocumentInformation section) into a vertical or horizontal inline table.

We hope to implement these useful functions in a future release of eaDocX.
