Text jumps from one page to the next

Hello,

I do hope someone can help. I have several pages that have the exact same layout, but when I go from page to page the text in tables and text frames is "jumping" and is not positioned in exactly the same place from one page to the next. How can I make sure that text appears in exactly the same place from page to page?

Thanks for your prompt response Jane.

I am attaching a PDF with 2 identical layouts. There is a table and a text box on the master..

The table has 2 columns and 2 rows.

The text box is positioned right under the table.

When I move from one page to the next the text in the table and the frame both jump

I do not have either the text box or the table "anchored" ... how would I do that?

Both the text box and the table are on the master.

Just learning this program, so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your example preview very tiny. Hard to see what is going on. Are you using paragraph styles? Do all the boxes have the same alignment settings? (Align to top, etc.)

Hi Dave ...

My settings are exactly the same in both pages.

In fact I dragged page 1 down to the "create new page" icon in the Pages panel to create page 2.

I need to find a way to anchor the table and the text in the table so that when I create 20 identical pages (with different text) that the text doesn't jump.

I would post a PDF, but the forum doesn't seem to allow that.
