Bullet and number styles different when viewed

Question

I'm using RoboHelp 6 to produce a WebHelp project.
It seems like the bullet and number styles behave differently
than the other styles. There is an automatic indent, even though
Left is set to 0, and a tab. I have been able to get the View
Selected Item to look the way I want (with a hanging indent that
aligns under the tabbed text) even though it looks very different
in the WYSIWYG Editor.
With the Number style, the font size seems much larger in the
View Selected Item than it does in the WYSIWYG Editor. Is there a
way to know what the font size will be/look like to the Help user?
The number size also seems to be different if I use the Create a
Number List button or use the Number style. What is the difference
between using the style and using the button? Can I control the
number and bullet font and size?
I'm still learning.
Thanks

Bummer!
RH doesn't always remove every piece of code when you, for
instance, select bolded characters and click the Bold toolbar
button; it often adds another SPAN tag for normal inside or outside
the bold tag!
The surest way I know to completely purge content is to
filter it through a plain text editor like Notepad:
1. In the RH topic, select the content (some paragraphs or
the entire topic).
2. Cut it (Ctrl+X).
3. Paste it into Notepad (Ctrl+V).
4. In Notepad, select and cut the content.
5. In the RH topic, paste the purged content where the old
content used to be.
Each paragraph will only get P tags assigned to it, allowing
you then to style your way through them. Of course, this
slash-and-burn method eliminates all hyperlinks, pop-ups, etc., so
plan accordingly.
Good luck,
