Numbering after import from microsoft word

Hi
I am new with doors and i am trying to import a doc file.
My issue is that after import, i get an extra numbering that i would like to avoid :

Before import :
1. title 1
2. title 2
2.1 sub

After import :
1
1.1 title 1
1.2 title 2
1.2.1 sub

Can someone tell me how to keep my original numbering ?

thanks

Hi Franco,

I'm not sure what's going wrong with the import, but if you have a module where the Headings are "off" like you described, you may be able to fix that by doing the following:
1
(Select all of the 1.x sections and then right-click and choose "Cut" from the popup menu)
1.1 title 1
1.2 title 2
1.2.1 sub

THEN - Select the "1" section and right-click and choose "Paste" from the popup menu, this should paste the cut sections at the same level as the existing "1", so that they now look like this:
2 title 1
3 title 2
3.1 sub

DELETE the existing "1" and that should bump the other sections up, so that they now look like this:

1. title 1
2. title 2
2.1 sub

I hope this works for you - Good Luck!

You need to look at the styles that were used in your Word document.

Word has Heading styles (Heading 1 through Heading 9)
Associated with the style is numbering, more inportantly, the outline number.
It is the outline number that determines the DOORS numbering.

See the How to Write Word Documents for Easy Import into DOORS dodcument in DOORSWiki. It is old, but still relevant.

I recently had to help a remote user with a similar problem - as others have pointed out, this is most likely an error in the "Outline Level" value assigned to paragraphs in your MSWord document. I've attached a copy of a graphic that I have used to help users understand the Outline Level property of MSWord paragraphs and how DOORS is dependent on this property. Hope it helps.
