Question

Problem placing a text box over another text box.

Hello, I have a text box which I would like to add another text box into. See below. When I move the text box into the existing frame the blue box is there but the text is not.  See second image.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to do so the text remains in place?

Do you have text wrap on the text boxes?

Text warp is moving text away. Apply an Object Style where ignore text warp is active or cmd/ctrl+B.

But you have way to many text frames in your layout.
