Reproducing RTF Text Formats
As a reminder, HOPEX RTF texts enable formatting of:
• characters (bold, underline, color...)
• paragraphs (bullets, indents, etc.).
Standardizing Formatting
HOPEX ensures consistency of documentation when you generate a report (MS Word): styles take precedence over formats introduced in the RTF text editor.
Reproducing character formatting
The following table indicates how each format is reproduced when generating a report (MS Word) or Web site.

Formatting of texts generated in tables is ignored in reports (MS Word).Defining the Formatting in Web sites
When you generate a Web site, you can choose to:
• standardize formatting in web sites, to get consistent results throughout the HTML page (for example: same font, same character size).
• keep RTF formatting of comments entered by users.
You must indicate the generation mode selected for each Web site template.
To define formatting in Web sites:
1. Access the Web Site Template properties.
2. In the Generation tab:
• clear the RTF font enabled option, to standardize formating.
• select the RTF font enabled option, to keep RTF text formatting.
Formatting and Objects Not Supported by HOPEX
The following formats are not supported by HOPEX, whether executed in RTF descriptors, reports (MS Word), or Web sites:
• Tables
• Pictures
• Word styles (obtained by copy/paste of a Word document)
