  • Livre 1 appears as LIVRE PREMIER in the docx, mark up as BOOK premier

  • Chapitre 1 appears as CHAPITRE PREMIER in the docx, mark up as CHAP premier

  • Article 1 appears as ARTICLE PREMIER in the docx, mark up as ART premier

  • Title 1 appears as TITRE PREMIER in the docx, mark up as TITLE premier

  • BUT Section 1 appears as SECTION PREMIERE in the docx, mark up as SEC première; likewisePARTIE PREMIERE mark up as PART première
