Problem with copyfitting/overflow

[VermiciousKnid]

I'm trying to edit stories in InCopy. This has happened twice now: I add a few words toward the beginning of the story, and InCopy pushes everything below that line into the overflow section. So I get a suddenly mostly blank text box, and the Copyfit Progress Info says I'm 98 lines over, even though there's plenty of room in the text box on the page. There shouldn't be any overflow on this story at all, let alone 98 lines. The only way we could solve it the first time was by going into the InDesign doc and throwing away the text box, and recreating it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Is there a no break character in there.

Nope--I had the same thought, but I turned on the hidden characters view, and there was nothing. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

We finally figured out an answer to this, at least on our system. Somehow, the paragraph styling develops issues, so if you just reapply the style to your text (on Mac, hold down the Option key while you click on the paragraph style in the palette, to get rid of the little plus sign that's next to the style name), that seems to fix it, and bring the text back into the editable area.
