You saw Rick's confirmation that this is an FM10 bug, right? I've reported it to Adobe & I urge you to also - the more people who do, makes the response more likely.

That was hard to explain. I believe the number is there, I can select something but I cannot see it. This is happening for chapters in the two books I've checked. The FM10 version numbering and font settings are identical to the FM9 version, as far as I can tell. I did try saving the FM10 version to MIF 10 format but the number is still invisible. Thanks for the ideas!

Not sure what "The space is there" means. What matters is what's in Paragraph Designer. Is the Autonumber Format (on the Numbering tab) still correct, i.e., unchanged by the conversion? Assuming it is, what about the numbering settings for the file? How do they compare with the same settings pre-conversion? Here's a wild guess. If the file is one chapter in a book and normally gets its numbering from the book, when you open it standalone, the <$chapnum> variable usually retains the value it had the last time the book was updated. Maybe the conversion for some reason interferes with the ability to recall that previous value, and everything will be fine once the entire book is converted and updated. :-) Richard G.
