DOC to DITA conversion

Hi.

I converted the doc file to DITA with the in-built conversion scenario. It went flawlessly, however, I have one issue with the part of the document that is structured like this in Word:

Code: Select all


heading 3
heading 4
heading 5
heading 6
heading 6
heading 6
So there're lots of these headings 4, 5 and 6 across the document chapter (it's API actually).
What oxygen did was splitting this part by headings 3 (i.e. I got dita topics corresponding to headings 3). Headings 4,5,6 were converted to simple paragraphs, so we'll need to format them manually.
Is there any way to get them automatically structured?

Hi,

The built-in transformation scenario DOCX DITA works only if the Dita For Publishers plugins are installed in the DITA Open Toolkit bundled with Oxygen.
I do not know much about how the conversion is done by the plugin and what configuration options it has, you should write about this on the DITA Users List, the developer of the D4P plugins Eliot Kimber might be better able to help you.

Regards,
Radu

Thanks, Radu. I'll try to figure it out with D4P.
