How to Hide text outside page edge in InDesign?

[kd360]

I'm looking to do something simple. I want to simply hide parts of text that fall outside the edges of a page. I have a file where this has been done but can't seem to duplicate it on another file. I've pasted a sample of what I'm trying to do.

Are you viewing that other file in the Preview mode maybe?

You can always put a [Paper] filled frame above the text to act as a mask...

This would be useful to cut off text in the page margin, but as @Willi Adelberger points out, text outside the trim size of the page is going to be cut off in trimming.

If this is a parent/master page object, the text frame needs to touch the page for it to show on other pages.

However, if you mean on a PDF, make sure you set a bleed in your export settings big enough to include it, otherwise it will be clipped off.

Whoops.. TOTALLY misread the original post. Ignore my answer. I shall go drink some more caffeine.

Why do you bother? Objects outside the bleed frame are cut off and not exported to the PDF.
