Failed Word Styles

Why?

The Word documents generated by the CAR process seeks to apply specific Word styles to enable conversion. Sometimes this fails and this will impact the conversion.

Some of the failed Word styles will leave artefacts indicating failure. A Failed Word Style error indicates that one of these artefacts has been detected.

Example Word doc failed style

For example, the following image shows a Word document where the Picture styles has failed. This is indicated by the text (Start of Picture) and (End of Picture) without any colouring.

This is the most common failure, where an attempt was made by the CAR to apply the style within a table.
