    Hi,

    I have been experimenting with the roundtrip stylesheets for converting
    wordml to docbook for a few days and have a couple of questions I hope
    someone on this list could answer.
    I couldn't find much documentation or discussion on the use of these
    stylesheets, but if there are resources I have missed, please refer me to
    them (I have looked at the specifications.xml).

    1. For my how-to documentation I would like to have images, without
    captions, included in ordered-lists, but when I use the
    informalfigure-imagedata style in the word template, after conversion to
    docbook it causes my ordered list to be split into two lists - i.e. the
    numbering restarts. I can change to style of the image object to
    "para-continue" and the list is not broken, but then my image gets a
    caption, which I do not want. Is there anything I am missing that will alow
    me greater control over what is embedded in the ordered list and what starts
    a new list? My assumption is that there would need to be more "continue"
    styles to allow this to work, is that correct? I guess it's an inherant
    problem when converting from a liniar styled document (wordml) to the nested
    style of docbook.

    2. I have downloaded the latest roundtrip stylesheets from the CVS
    repository, and they work a lot better, except that the "ordered-list" style
    in the template.dot does not show any numbers in word in the latest version
    - previous versions did. Assuming this is a bug, and not intentional, if
    anyone who maintains these is reading this, perhaps you can add it to the
    to-do list. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Chris.
