Custom DITA map to Word

I'm trying to create a custom transform that we can use on multiple projects.
I duplicated the DITA Map MS Office Word transformation.
I figured out how to create a custom .dotx file and link that on parameters. However, that only allows us to modify main text and heading styles.

How would I create a custom css file and link it to the global transformation scenario to modify items like <uicontrol>, <terms>, <uiuserinput> and so forth?

Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,

We are not very familiar with the DITA to Word plugin, maybe you can try registering on the DITA Users List (groups.io) and ask there.
What I do know is that you cannot use CSS to style the word output.
With Oxygen you can use CSS to customize the PDF output but for Word you will probably need to create some kind of XSLT customization which outputs the proper customized Word XML content.

Regards,
Radu
