Hi Melania:

 

I didn't see issues on pages 20–31, but  I do see 14 overset table cells beginning on page 9/11:

 

InDesign doesn't allow rows to break across colums (yet) so the challenge is to get your long text strings to fit in a single cell.  You have room on the page, but your row height is set to max out at 50 picas:

Increase the value until all of the text can fit:

On some pages, you may need to do additonal work to make the text fit. (Remove data if you can, or more likely, reduce the typesize.)

There are a lot of problems in your document, from the start, I will tell you, the steps you have to do:

 

  1. Create layers for the document, from bottom to top I recommend: background, images, text, pagina
  2. Create Paragraph and Charactr Styles, Paragraph Styles.
  3. Go to the page panel and set up your master. Give it a specific name instead of the generic given name.
  4. Create a text frame on each master side, use an object style which includes a paragraph style and insert a current page marker for the pagening. Put these frames on the top layer "pagina"
  5. Create a table and cell styles which includes paragraph styles.

Cells cannot have a page break, divide lines so between each part can be a page break.
