Looks to me like there are at least two threaded text frames in play here, and that the text Electrical Wire Technology Expo has auto-leading rather than a fixeed leading value, and that those lines are set to Align to Grid. Making the text larger is increasing the leading, forcing the text to skip grid lines and pushing the Date into the next frame (which looks like it is overlapping slightly). I think the missing type is the reult of unwanted text wrap as the others have suggested. ... View more

A further thought, and no slight intended here, but I suspect you are not a native Arabic reader, and your regular experience tells you the book "Starts at the back" which is why you think that the pages should run from bottom to top. In fact, RTL books also "Start at the front," it's just that they're bound on the opposite edge, so a native reader would most likely expect page one to be the first one encountered when scrolling though the document. ...

Your best bet here might be to simply split apart all the spreads do the inside bleeds don't overlap. Most recent discussion of this is at https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/separate-or-space-facing-pages/m-p/15282591 ... View more

If your book is in Arabic, the odd numbered pages should be on the left and the evens on the right, so your first and last pages, as shown in the clip and your screen captures, are on the wrong sides. Once the pages are flowing in the correct order, it really doesn't matter if they are represented in the pages panel and in the working space flowing top to bottom, or bottom to top. ... View more

hi joel,, mutlipageimporter places/shifts the pages content in reverse order but do not actually reverse the pages number.  ..your page1 stays to be page1 and also your last page stays numbered the same way..  what this script does is, it shifts/reverses the contents, not the actual page number.

Let me simplifiy this a bit. If you are going to make a change to an object on the docment page, you need a REALLY good reason for it to be on the Parent page, and maintaining positin is not, in my opinion, good enough in a long document. I never use Primary Text Frames (I've been using InDesing since long before they were added and never needed them). Text frame size and position are controled with the margins, and I use the Shift Key when placing text to autoflow and add pages as necessary. You can define any set of parameters you like for a text frame object style and set it as your default. You can even define multiple text frame object styles and switch between them as needed. In fact you don't even need to define the object style if you define your paragraph styles and select them as required before placing the text, but again, in a long doc, object styles can be a big help. ...

I think I may be onto something.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that. By @Betsy35212089j8j2   File > New and uyse the same document setup specifications as you have in the original. Rename the A Parent page to something you didn't use in the original file so it won't be substituted when you move your pages. In the original file open the Pages Panel, select all the pages, and from the panel menu choose Move Pages... In the dialog that opens, choose the new blank file you just created, choose Before Page 1, and click OK In the new file delete the last page (whaich was Page 1 before y9ou moved the other into the file).

My memory of overrideend master pages items matched yours, but I just checked, and since at least CS6 reapplying the master page has removed any overrides, so I guess we're both mistaken. I did some more thinking yesterday about potential causes for the first problem, amnd I suspect there's an errant second text frame on the Parent Page, but I'd have to see the layers panel expanded to verify. All of that said, I see perhaps a larger problem here, and that's how you aree utilizing your Parent Pages. This is largely a matter of philosophy, but to my mind if something is going to be altered by the user on the document page, it does not belong on the Parent page at all in most cases. Parents should contain only repetitive content like guides, headers and footers, or backgrounds that will appear on multiple pages. I don't even like having a Primary Text Frame as I find InDesign's Smart Text Reflow often causes more problems than it solves.   ... View more
