Autonumbering at end of paragraph is right justified

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Jing,

What you are trying to accomplish is a good idea, but End of Paragraph 
autonumbers always move out to the right margin. If you are using structured 
FrameMaker, you could use a Suffix Rule to add a colon where the text ends.
