Segmentation rule for bullets not working

Hi 

I am trying to create a segmentation rule that segments at the individual items of a bulleted list in an Excel cell. Unfortunately I cant't get it to work.

So, I have tried to create a small, simple test case with a Word document. My new segmentation rule does not work with this simple document either, so I must be doing something completely wrong.

I hope that some of the more skilled experts will be able to point me to what I am doing wrong.

I attach the sample doc here:

Test document for segmentation rules.docx

And here is the definition of my additional segmentation rule:

And here is what I get in the Editor:

FYI: the bullet I have inserted in the document is the one with Unicode 2022, I checked this. Even if I enter the bullet itself in the rule, it does not work.

    Thanks for the hint. Adding a seg rule for soft return works. And with a display filter set like this:

    I can hide the bullet only segments in the Editor (in case you wonder about the "\*", I extended the bullet rule to include also the asterisk because this this use case also has list items introduced by an asterisk).

    So far, this works fine now, not only on my simple Word sample, but also on the Excel document. However, I have another problem with the Excel, which is probably not at all related to the segmentation. When I preview the Excel or save as target, the target only contains text in the first 4 segments the rest of the document is empty. I'll now need to find out what causes this.

    Thanks a lot for the help on the segmentation rules.
