gap in text

Windows 11/64 InDesign 20.2
I am working on an eight-page catalog in which a problem cropped up on one of my pages. At the bottom of the the third page a gap is appearing in the text when located on the page. When I pull the text off the page, it aligns perfectly. (see attachnent) I am at my wit's end trying to fix the problem. I have used InDesign since version two and have exhausted all of my knowledge.

Can someone please explain what I have done and how to fix it?

Thanks to those who know more than me,
Joe

If you turn on Show Frame Edges - you should be able to see more clearly all objects on the Pages.

Looking at the top right and bottom right corners of the page - your file might be corrupted - please take a look at this thread:

That did it Robert, I found the guilty party on one of my master pages.

Is there an object with Text Wrap - either locked or on a layer, even a hidden layer, or a hidden object. 

 

Pop the file here or in private chat if you want us to take a look 

Hard to tell from your screenshots - my best guess, an object with text wrap that's locked/hidden.
