Adobe InDesign Text Not Showing in Text Frame

Question

• See Screenshot 01: I have an object box showing a partial floor plan- it is sent to Back. I also have a text box - It is sent to Front.

• See Screenshot 02: The text does not show when I move it onto the plan - I can see the edges and handles of the box but not the text. Neither box has text wrap turned on.

• See Screenshot 03: In Object Styles the Graphic Box has a + sign appended (I do not know what this means)

I have applied text on top of an object box numerous times this way but never had this result - what is happening ?

Text wrap was very clearly not applied to either and the text was on its own layer st to front.

I created a new box added the pal and everything worked just fine.

Something twitchy, I guess.

Thanks for the reply.

Select the Text frame with the plus, choose Text Frame options (you can right-click for that option), check Ignore Text Wrap.

Or: the text is aligned to baseline grid, (and the baseline does not fit to where your text box - frame -is), untick that option in Paragraph options
