FrameMaker 10 disappearing text?

[Joy Kocar]

Yes I did see Rick's post. Thanks Rick for your help!! I could feel the gray
hair popping out.

Luckily it is a simple fix. The chapter numbers have their own style and all
I had to do was to make Alignment = Left and kept Position = End of
Paragraph. The chapter number remains at the right margin.
