Extra characters when using Export to Word

When using Export to Word in DOORS v9.2.0.5 with a company Word template, we get extra lines/characters (the character 'r' on a new line) after each exported object. This does not happen on v8.3 (I've tested it) and we don't think it happened in v9.2.0.2, but we can't test this now.

This does not happen if I use Word's own normal.dot. And it only seems to happen when I have at least one heading object.

Any thoughts? A cut down version of the template, which still exhibits the problem, is attached. Any module with at least one heading and some objects below it should show the problem.

Could be "Paragraph Before" for heading style in your Word template.

Thanks for that pointer - it has provided a workaround that works.

I'm embarressed that I didn;t find that original thread myself - I did search for "Export to Word" but for some reason didn't see that one.

Thanks again.
