Rick,
Check your autonumber setting in the Paragraph Designer. Check and see if
there is a tab marker in there and in there is a tab marker somewhere on the
right of the text frame. Try replacing the tab marker, if there is one, with a
space, or em space, etc.
Cheers

I'd like to put a watermark on my Framemaker pages. So far, I know to
add diagonal text to the master page.
Question is, how do I create diagonal text?
Any thoughts?

Easy ones:
* Create a text line on a master page and rotate it.
* Create a text frame on a master page (better for multiple lines) and
rotate that.

If you are creating PDF, don't use text, use a graphic. Reviewers will
have a hard time selecting text behind the watermark if it is text.
