Text Flow

I am trying to have text flow between some pages in my book. I have used Place to import pages from Word. I connected the text frames and the text flows from one page to the next until it gets to a page where it seems to overwrite the pages. I don't know how to fix this.FlowTextIssue.jpg

Could it be there is a text frame on the Master Page?

Yes, I think that was the problem. I removed the text boxes on my master pages. Will go back now and see if I can get all of my text to flow now. I am still confused about how to use Place to get the Word files to flow.

What do you mean with overwrite the pages?

I see, that your page number is inside the page borders. It must not be. The page number must be outside the borders and on a separate layer on top. Correct the borders, so the text will flow in automatically in one step. I would recommend to delete all pages but the first and hold down the shoft key when you reflow it again.

I moved the page numbers outside of the borders. What do you mean to hold down the shift key when I reflow it again?
