Question

Overset text in footer text box from parent page but only a problem on one page

I have a parent page with a footer.  The same footer (with the same section name) is repeated on other pages.  On one page out of 67, there is an overset text error, although the footer looks fine (no text missing).  I right-clicked on the page thumbnail and clicked Apply Parent to Page, but that didn't solve the problem.  When I click off the footer in the layers panel, the error goes away.  Any suggestions?

check the footer in Story Editor — anything suspicious there that can explain the overset text warning?

Story Editor has a box with an X in it, a space, a vertical line, a space, another box with an X in it, and the #  sign.  My footer is set to display this:  SECTION | #  where # is page number.
