Hi there, We are noticing a similar problem related to autonumbering even without the MIF conversion you describe.
For instance: 1. Define a paragraph autonumber that includes an em space (\sm) and some text. (Note:\sm) 2. Reopen the paragraph designer and change only the autonumber text (change "Note" to "Tip"). Notice that the \sm turns into something weird and renders as a ?? in your document. There appears to be a problem with special characters that are inserted with a backslash (\).
