Can someone please help with this issue I am having with my text box?

Question

I have a table that I am filling out for a small booklet.

I have 3 columns in this table. The last column has contact info.

There is still plenty of room to type in this "box" but for some reason, my text is disappearing.

For example, on the line it says:

incometax@

And then the rest of the email disappears on the next line but I can't seem to see it anywhere and there is just a lot of white, blank space underneath.

The same thing happens in the next box in the next row and in one of the boxes on the next page. All of the rest of the boxes seem fine and unaffected.

This will commonly happen in a text frame or cell where the word simply won't fit in the space. It still exists - it just doesn't know where to put it, you'll see a little red + icon, which signifies there is overflowed text not showing.

In previous tables I've often had to allocate more space for a column with email addresses for example, or make them a smaller size. Hyphenating email addresses isn't really an option.

If hyphenation is turned off and you have very long email address, it won't break and will show the plus sign. You can see the text in Edit / Edit in Story Editor. Also, if there is a "no break" character style or "keep" settings in the paragraph style, that can bump text out.
