Question

Text Thread is off the artboard/page?

My document has threaded copy throughout. There was overset text on the last page, when I went to create another textbox to link it, it automatically threaded to something off the page (indicated by red line). I thought maybe there is a hidden text frame but have not found anything. I also used the breaking thread script, but that didn't work. I replaced the text frame and still nothing. I selected all on the page, got nothing. I even cleared out object styles, and paragraph styles, but it still keeps threading outside of the artboard. Please help!

Try IDMLing to fix your file - export as IDML, open, save with a new name - do not overwrite your original file. 

 

Depends on the contents - if you've anything else in the document - you can copy just the text to a new document - or visible pages. 

 

If it won't help - you can send me your INDD file and I'll fix it for you. 

 

If you prefer - you can send it to me privately - please click my nickname.

Haven't received file yet.

 

But it's easy to fix.
