Hi all,

I am very new to InDesign and am having issues with moving pages.

I have a document that has been imported from Word, for some reason after working with it one page appears to have been deleted. No idea how that happened.

I have done quite a bit of wqork on that document so do not want to have to redo it.

I have created a new document from the origianl word file so I can move the missing page to the master document.

However, the move page command does nothing. I had it working eralier today when the same thing happened, but now it just does not work. There must be a setting I have turned off.

Help please

Correct answer OzPhotoMan

The blue box at the end means there is no overset.

The problem most likely has something to do with the formatting, such as no-break applied to too much text or start on next page, etc. Of course, it could be a corrupt file. Hard to tell without seeing the file.

If you want to message me and send me a link privately, I can look at the file.

Thanks,

All seesm to be working OK now, with no errors reported.

Did you use a Primary Text Frame?

Is the text threaded from page to page?

Check the end of the document and see if there is an overflow symbol (little red box in lower-right corner of text frame.

Hi David,

I don't know if I used a primarey text frame. I created the original document (a book, my autobiography) in Word 2007, but switched to InDesign as I need quality photographs and a color managed workflow.

I just used shift place to copy all the Word document into InDesign.

There is no red box bottom right of the text frame on any page or at the end of the document (119 pages atm).

I am trying to teach myself how to use InDesign by studying online tutorials and YT videos, most of which are really helpful. As a result of your comment I have found an article on primary text frames and am studying it now. That led me to realise when I created the initial document ready for placing, I did not select "primary frame". I will now look at converting it, but not sure why I need to. Guess I will find out after studying the tutorial.

Would that have anything to do with losing a page without deleting it? It has happend to me more than once, as far as I can tell when I deleted a blank page or pages.

Regards,

Steve

P.S, the text does overflow into the next page though.
