Hi there,
My designer sent me a file to look over, and when I try to edit a text box, the text disappears unless I make the size much smaller.
Numbers are currently 9 point Roboto Condensed. When I try to do any edits, including delete, replace or space, the text wont fit anymore unless I make it smaller to 6 points.
Attached are two files, one showing how it is without edit, second showing what happens after I touch the character.
A third screenshot shows how small I need to make it for it to show up again.
This one shows how small I need to make it.

Have you tried simply opening up the frame from the top? It looks like the top of the numbers are very close to it. This could especially be a problem if the version of the font that you have is in any way different than the one that the original designer used. Have the designer do a collect for output which includes the fonts used and try it with that font loaded.

A master page in InDesign is where elements that are going to be used in multiple places within a document (page numbers, borders, etc.) are placed. You can tell if any have been set up in your document by opening the Pages Panel. You'll notice that there is an area above the document pages (the ones that are numbered 1,2, etc). There should be pages in that area that will be labelled [None] and A-Master (unless the person who created the file has retitled the A-Master to something else). If there is a Master Page (or Pages—there can be as many created as needed) then global changes can be applied there and they will appear in all of the document pages as have the Master applied.
I'm glad the font solution worked. It is the simpler way to go all around.
