I have used InDesign very happily to set our local village 32 pages (free) magazine quarterly for over a year. In prep for latest edition I downloaded InDesign 18. After 4 very frustrating days I finally isolated that the problem seems to be consistently a section (6cms from top of each A4 page) about a line width which is overriding the setting of any text/character/paragraph. Please help with fix asap.

Could there be an invisible frame on my 'master page' ? Ah-ha there's an idea. Will check. Thanks.

Yes, it was an invisible frame on the A-parent page. I'm so happy now but thank you so much for bearing with me on my challenges. What I'm doing is usually so inspiration and to think I used Adobe in 1986 when you were based in Edinburgh! DTP then was very antiquated. Hurrah for Adobe x

Hi Emily:

Are you referring to this horizonal line?

So many options. A frame with a border is my best guess. Or perhaps a line added with the Line tool. Can you select it with the Selection tool? Can you select it by Ctrl+Sh clicking with the Selection tool? (Cmd+Sh+click on a Mac.)

If not, are you comfortable sharing this page? If so, put it on dropbox and post a link here (public) or message me directly by clicking my Avatar above this response and click Send a Message.

So sent on some screen shots. But I was referring to the extra line which is randomly being inserted after line 4 in the above example/screen shot. Which, as the risk of repeating myself is 6cms below the top of the page. And pretty much on every page. Or a skew insert. Thanks for help.

Maybe you have an invisible frame behind with text wrap. As @Barb Binder wrote, it would be easier if we could have a look to the actual file.

Can you be more specific? A screenshot could be useful.

Thank you for speedy response. Sorry mine a bit long. Attaching screen shot of same piece of text 'The Bounds'. Copied from bottom left and inserted top right and left. There's the inserted line 6cms from top of A4.
