RE: FrameMaker 10 disappearing text?
Thanks for reporting this issue. We have been able to repro the issue and will work on the same. This issue happens when Para is right aligned and auto-number is End of Paragraph and paragraph text is empty.

Re: FrameMaker 10 disappearing text?
It's a _really_ good idea to save legacy files as 10 MIF after converting them to make sure that all is in order after conversion. That's the first thing I'd try.

Re: FrameMaker 10 disappearing text?
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.
