I have used InDesign very happily to set our local village 32 pages (free) magazine quarterly for over a year. In prep for latest edition I downloaded InDesign 18. After 4 very frustrating days I finally isolated that the problem seems to be consistently a section (6cms from top of each A4 page) about a line width which is overriding the setting of any text/character/paragraph. Please help with fix asap.

Could there be an invisible frame on my 'master page' ? Ah-ha there's an idea. Will check. Thanks.

Yes, it was an invisible frame on the A-parent page. I'm so happy now but thank you so much for bearing with me on my challenges. What I'm doing is usually so inspiration and to think I used Adobe in 1986 when you were based in Edinburgh! DTP then was very antiquated. Hurrah for Adobe x

Hi Emily:

Are you referring to this horizonal line?

So many options. A frame with a border is my best guess. Or perhaps a line added with the Line tool. Can you select it with the Selection tool? Can you select it by Ctrl+Sh clicking with the Selection tool? (Cmd+Sh+click on a Mac.)

If not, are you comfortable sharing this page? If so, put it on dropbox and post a link here (public) or message me directly by clicking my Avatar above this response and click Send a Message.

So sent on some screen shots. But I was referring to the extra line which is randomly being inserted after line 4 in the above example/screen shot. Which, as the risk of repeating myself is 6cms below the top of the page. And pretty much on every page. Or a skew insert. Thanks for help.
