Exporting bullet lists using WEXP

Hi,
I am currently using DOORS 8.3.0.1 and have some trouble exporting bullet lists using WEXP.

During the export process the Object Text is pasted into Word at some point. Text that had a DOORS bullet in front of it is pasted with surrounding code like:

  • (Text)
  • (Text)

  • This code seems to be generated by WEXP and is decoded by Word macros to determine the style to be associated with the text.

    A few things bother me:
    1) If the text behind the bullet contains a TAB character, this extra code is omitted.
    2) Sometimes a bulleted list comes out, which is marked with STYLE=UL, sometimes a numbered list (STYLE=OL). However in DOORS these are all just bullets (at various indent levels). If I export the same text into a table template I get a different result to a plain export.

    Can anyone explain how to control the export of bullet lists? I get results I can't really make sense of. I've already tried removing any pre-existing Word formatting by starting with plain text in new objects; this does not solve any of this.

The surrounding code I meant in the original post did not upload correctly.
Retry: <LI(space)STYLE=OL(space)LEVEL=0(space)START=1(space)>(text)
