InDesign tables - overset text disappears

[gail.gleeson]

I am trying to create tables in InDesign. However the overset action occurs when working in the table or moving the table and the result is the table and its content disappears! However the frame is still visible.

I have tried to fix it by creating another frame for the table to overflow on to but does not work. I have tried to solve the issue researching previous blogs. But couldnt find the solution. 

Only option is to undo my steps, but this means I am unable to create the tables in my document. Please can someone help me fix the overset of text in cells in a table. 

thanks

I guess that the text in the cells is aligned to beseline grid.
