I never did figure out what was happening. I deleted the project and created a new one and did not have the same issue. I consider myself a novice user, and apologize if I used terms that didn't fit into the Adobe meanings of certain terms like 'outline'. I meant that the text is contained in an 'outline', defined as a set of lines enclosing the text. Like I said I am a novice, I have used InDesign for about 10 years, creating a monthly newsletter booklet, flyers, and other items. I suppose the proper terminology would have been 'frame'.
