iBooks Author - Importing from Word Document - Conversion/formatting Issues

Hello All,

I am new to iBA and have been trying to use the program to convert safety modules into eBooks for work (for use on the iPad, where videos, etc. can be embedded). Currently, we have hundreds of modules out there (with hundreds of pages each).

While inserting a word document into iBA (.doc format), I find that I lose a lot of the original formatting when the document appears in iBA. Everything that was originally part of a numbered list becomes altered as soon as it is inserted.

Granted, I could go through and edit all word documents appropriately and then insert them into iBA, but there are hundreds and hundreds of modules. I imagine there must be something I am missing, so I hope someone out there can help.

I have attached some screenshots of the original word file (viewed in OpenOffice for Mac), and the altered iBA file after it is inserted.

Thanks in advance. Hopefully someone can help me.
