Hi Team,

We are transforming xml to xhtml and opening it in Word. When transforming the html we also make sure the html is styled properly as per Word. In our content, we have hidden texts as well.

If the html is opened in Word 2013 the hidden text is getting messed up and not getting hide properly. - This is happening ONLY with Word 2013. No issues at Word 2007 and 2010.

We also observed this behavior happens only with the below case.

Content - Styled as hidden text. => Working fine

• Bullet point 1 - Styled as hidden text => Not working - Note the first bullet point in the list is not getting hide. (Even the entire OL is style as hidden)
  
• Bullet Point 2 - Styled as hidden text. => Working fine.

Please help! Thanks in Advance.

Please find the below sample html. Open it in Word 2013 and toggle "Display Hidden text" option on/off to see the issue in action.

Note: Due to character limit, i am not able to provide entire html. The below HTML is only the BODY tag. We do have all the styles defined at Head tags.

office 2013 seems modify the open xml structure, you might ask in this forum that might give you some light:
