RPE and Word output, carriage return problem

Hi all,
I'm trying to generate a Software Test Description document respecting the MIL-STD-498 standard.

In RQM 3 I created custom templates of testcase and testsuite with additional 'rich text' fields that I use as value in RPE template.

The problem is that in the Word output there are many unexpected carriage return in the custom fileds. On the web I discovery that it was an old problem (solved) of the handling of XHTML data... but I have it now.

Any ideas to avoid those cr?

Thanks in advance,
Mauro

I solved cr problem using REST optional parameter "stripRichtextTags=true".

But... there is always a "but" :P ... in this way I lost the text formatting, I'll try with script in RPE.

Ideas are always well accepted.

One thing you might try is using the "Validate" button on the rich text field. This causes the content to be cleaned on the server using an open source tool called JTidy. While this won't get rid of all of the cruft, it might help.

I tried it but the problem was still there.
