Okay, Adobe community, help me out! I've seen other articles posted on this topic but can't find the solution. 

 

I'm working in InDesign 2024 on a Mac. In the screenshot below, the text in the margins is what it should look like (the complete text). But when I slightly decrease the width of the text box to place it on the page, the text disappears:

Hyphenation is on and "No Break" is turned off (not checked). The text box is set to "Ignore Text Wrap," but there are no competing text boxes. Interestingly, this problem does not occur with other pull quotes in the book (example below where it works fine):

What am I missing here?????

The first screenshot shows the text box before decreasing the width on the left (in the gray background). 

 

I will say, the error somehow resolved itself. I ended up reducing the font size by one point and that solved the issue for that text box. But this is a problem I've run into before and can't recall how I resolved it.

Can you post screenshot BEFORE you decrease width of the frame?

Right, sorry - seen it but missed it. 

 

Something must be wrong with the last two words - "workplace" and "violence" are narrower than "procedures"...

Some other things to check are first baseline offset, whether the leading for the entire paragraph is the same, and whether align to gris is active (I suspewcrt that's the problem here).
