Anyone know how to fix this problem?

I think Jane located the culprit. When I delete the GREP style from body_text_01, the issue goes away.

The expression reads (\H+?\h?){2}$ and it is applying the no_break character style to keep the last two words of the paragraph together. When I add the same GREP style to a document with romance-language text, it works as expected.

Before adding the GREP style:

After (I added a yellow highlight along with the no break attribute to the character style so that you can see it is assigned to the last two words of a paragraph.):

Can you live without it? If not, we may need a GREP expert with ME experience to come up with another solution.

Hi wutichaip7490273:

I agree that there is a Keep setting turned on that is forcing the rest of the text to the next page. I'm happy to take a look at the file. You can post it on dropbox and post the link here (public) or hover over my name above and message me the link (private).

Hi wutichaip7490273,

The way InDesign works is that text is in frames. When you make the text bigger, it may be larger than the frame and is hidden. You can make the text smaller or the frame bigger to fix it, but this may cause other problems if there is not enough room to make the frame bigger.

There are other reasons for the text to “disappear”, and that‘s why Bill is asking those questions. It will help us to give you the right answer for your situation.

Which version of InDesign and OS?

First, I guess we have to ask how "gone" is it?

1) Click on the text frame/container with your Arrow/Selection Tool. If you see a bubble with a small red + sign, it's still there, but there's not enough room in the text frame to show it. If this is the case, put that selection cursor on the lower-right Anchor Point box of the text frame, hold down the mouse button and drag that point down and to the right. In the vast majority of cases, you'll see the missing text.

2) If you still don't see the type, don't panic. Highlight all the type by getting the Text Tool, clicking anywhere in the text frame and selecting Cmd/Ctrl+A (depending on whether you're working on a Mac- or Windows-based system) to Select All type in the thread — all the type you see and all the type you don't. Then select the Type>Paragraph menu command, which opens the Paragraph panel. Click on the three lines to the upper-right of the panel to open the flyaway menu and select the Keep Options... command. First check the Preview check box so you can see what changes will be made without messing up your document. Then look in the Start Paragraph: options box. If it is blank or says anything besides Anywhere, change it to the Anywhere option. This should show you the missing type. Then hit the Cancel button so you don't really mess things up.

Neither of these options will fix your problem. You'll need to make your own layout changes as appropriate. But it will at least let you know that the type is still there, and give you an idea of what changes may need to be made.

Hope this helps,

Randy

Could you post a screen shot showing what is happening both before and after you change the text size? Also what version of InDesign and what operating system are you using?
