Margaret mentioned this issue in our last meeting. I tried all the suggestions that were made but that did not resolve the problem. Below is my email to Volker and his response. I have also attached the referenced file.

Subject: RE: copying from report to MS Word
Both of the lists are ordered lists and by default an ordered list is displayed with Arabic numbers. The nested list has a list-style type of “lower-alpha” and it appears that Word is not understanding this list style. This is probably a bug in Word. You might try and see what happens if you’d copy/paste this into a different editor (Libre Office). If it’s a Word bug we could try if it’s possible to adjust the PP to adjust the CSS or the lists but that may or may not work. Also, if we’re modifying the PP report please keep in mind that it won’t have an effect on anything you’re copying/pasting from Cancer.gov.
Please go ahead and create a ticket if you think it’s worth pursuing and we can discuss next Thursday.
Thanks,
Volker

Is this PROD or QA?
Thanks,

Hi Volker,
When we copy can you take a look at the attached PP copy of 762295. When
the document is copied or when we use edit with Word to create a word
document. The list items under the Glioblastomas Treatment is messed up.
For example the sub bullets that are supposed to be a. and b. are
changed into 1. And 2. And it doesn't matter which browser you use. We
spoke about this briefly in the CDR meeting last week.
Thanks,
William
Did you try it from Chrome?
Yes, I did. I tried all the browsers installed on Bastion Host and they all came back with the same display.
Could you please confirm that this is still a problem given that we
are now using the NVCG output? I was able to copy/paste the document and
preserve the bullet list formats.
If this is still a problem please list the steps you're performing to
create this document.
Could you please confirm that this is still a problem given that we are now using the NVCG output?
It is working correctly for us now. Thank you!
Please let me know if I should go ahead and close this issue.
Yes, since there was no work involved that needs to be migrated we can close this issue.
