Text disappears after applying Paragraph styles

[Nic011]

Hello,

I'm using a ID book template that had some pre-designed pages using paragraph styles.

The problem I'm having is when I create any new text boxes - then add copy/pasted text or fill text - and apply the same paragraph styles the text disappears. The weird this is if I manually type in InDesign the paragraph styles applies without issues.

Has any experienced this problem too - what's the solution?

Thanks for your time in advance,

Nicole

With nothing selected, check your default paragraph and character styles. 

Check the paragraph style to see if you selected No Break or Start Paragraph in Next Column/Page/Frame, etc.

Thank you for your help Dave. Turns out it was a "No Break" character style that was the culprit.
