Re: FM-> HTML graphics conversion problem

[Carol Hobday <carol -dot- hobday -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Thanks for the input, everyone! Let me clarify what is happening and what I
am trying to do:

Here's what I want:
1. Text formatted with CSS [inline icon] followed by more formatted text.
2. Text formatted with CSS [inline icon] followed by more formatted text.

Here's what I get after the conversion from Frame:
1. Text formatted with CSS [inline icon]
line break followed by unformatted text.
 2. Text formatted with CSS [inline icon]
line break followed by unformatted text.

This only happens in list items, not in body text.

We hope to use this process on a large number of documents, and we don't
want to do manual tweaking to make the text look right. Any ideas what is
happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Carol
