Text wrap not working on one page only

On the last page I tried to place a graphic frame the text wrap does't work. It works on all the previous pages. I have the text wrap box checked. I tried deleating the frame and redrawing it but that didn't make any difference. I can place a frame on any other page in my document and the text wrap works. When I was drawing my text frame one of my fingers uncontrolably came down and did a right click on the mouse. (It's something that that I've had for a while.) This may have messed something up for me.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'll try this.


Select the text frame under your picture, and have a look at the text frame options (Ctrl B): I am quite sure that the checkbox “ignore text wrap” is checked. Uncheck it.

Can you show us a screen shot or two of the problem?

Even when text wrap is applied to a frame there are two ways it might not be honored. First is the preference checkbox under Composition for Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath and the second is the Checkbox in the Text Frame Proerties dialog for any text frame to Ignore Text Wrap.

I don't think this is your problem, but we occasionally see users who mistakenly apply text wrap to the text frame rather than the object they want the text to wrap around.

Here a screen shot. Every other page works right. I can move any frame as much as I want and the text flows around it.
