Strange issue when dragging text box onto page from pasteboard

I have an existing INDD file that I want to add some wording to on certain pages.

I have the text I want to add in a text box on the pasteboard but when I drag the text box over onto my page the text shifts or spaces out in the text box.

I do not have “Text wrap” applied to anything on the page or any “space before or after”.

What could be causing this?  I’ve used this file a few times and haven’t had a problem.

How do I remove it?  I've never see this window before in the screen shot you sent.

I've learned INDD from the school of "Throw them to the wolves and figure it out."


That screen shot is from @Robert at ID-Tasker 's tool rather than InDesign. You'll find a pair of buttons to control grid alignment in the Control Panel when in Paragraph mode, or at the bottom right corner of the Paragraph Panel.

Screenshots always help to clarify question.

Looks like Align to Baseline Grid.

If this is adjusting vertically, it might be related to snap to Baseline Grid. There are three things to look for with Baselines:

1. The setting for the leading distance in document Preferences > Grids > Baseline Grids

2. The paragraph style might call for Baseline alignment under Indents and Spacing section of paragraph style options

3. Align to Baseline also has a view setting under View > Grids & Guides > Show Baseline Grid

4. I suppose Align to Baseline Grid could also have been applied manually to the one textframe, too.

Can you share the page from this file that is causing the problem? Without that it is virtually impossible to find the answer.

You have a local ovveride on this piece of text:

 

 

Why are you not using Paragraph Styles?
