Text jumps from one page to the next

Hello,

I do hope someone can help. I have several pages that have the exact same layout, but when I go from page to page the text in tables and text frames is "jumping" and is not positioned in exactly the same place from one page to the next. How can I make sure that text appears in exactly the same place from page to page?

Thanks for your prompt response Jane.

I am attaching a PDF with 2 identical layouts. There is a table and a text box on the master..

The table has 2 columns and 2 rows.

The text box is positioned right under the table.

When I move from one page to the next the text in the table and the frame both jump

I do not have either the text box or the table "anchored" ... how would I do that?

Both the text box and the table are on the master.

Just learning this program, so any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Pamela,

Can you put the InDesign file into Dropbox? I also don't see what's happening with the small PDF screenshots.

I think we need to know more before this question can be answered. Screenshots, please, of before and after.

Are the frames anchored?
Are the tables in a separate frame or positioned at an insertion point?
Do you have one threaded story or all separate text frames?
