Overset Text issue

I am trying to copy and paste a cover layout of text and images to the first page of the interior layout file, and some of the text boxes become overset (not all). Obviously, there is some conflict, but I can't identify it.

Any ideas?

All right, let us know.

Nevertheless, while looking at your screenshots, I'm very surprised you didn't find any differences between your object styles, just like Bob suggested.

My guess is that your [Basic Text Frame] object style differs between the 2 docs, and gets in conflict. This would explain that Blue rounded-corner stroke that shouldn't be there and generates the Text in excess (since your frame probably fits the content).

Moving pages instead of copy/paste might be an acceptable workaround, but definitely won't clean up the conflicts (object & paragraph styles) that I would definitely recommend you try to get rid of...

I gave up figuring out the problem and manually fixed each text frame.

Thanks for the invaluable lessons ... I'm still learning ...

I was having the same problem. My fix was to choose Load Object Styles from the Object Styles panel and choose the file from which I was copying. This way, the object styles for both documents matched and the text pasted fine. We work mostly from templates at my office, so I also loaded the Object Styles with no document open to use these settings as my default for new documents.

Check your paragraph styles are NOT based on [Basic Paragraph].

Also, if you want to duplicate page to another document, you can choose Layout > Pages > Move Pages instead of Copy/Paste

I will try this option to get around the problem.
