\t building block showing numbers

When I add the \t building block to a paragraph tag, I get a number. How do I make it just do a tab and not include a number?

Out of curiosity:

- does the problem appear if you use *only* a tab (e.g. "\t" instead of "\b\t")?

- what font is being used?

- what happens if you add another tab (e.g. \b\t\t)?

As for other ideas.. would be ideal if someone here with FM10 could try out the actual file for you. That would indicate immediately if the issue is your installation of FM10, or if it's an actual bug.

As it turned out, I was able to fix the issue by installing the "fm5font.ttf" font.

If anyone else has the problem, go to the following folder and install the "fm5font.ttf" font (right-click and select install).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\fminit

Thanks for everyone's help.

P.S. The the unwanted number was only showing up when the text symbols were being displayed. If I turned those off, I could no longer see them, but installing the fount is a better solution.

In any version, if the only thing in the Auto-number format text box is a tab, you will get a tab in front of every paragraph using that paragraph tag. Don't forget you have to set the tab stop.
