Good to know. Thank you! Can I make a plea for sorting out the text flow issue at the same time?

Now I am confused. I have created a new doc and then new text boxes. I add content and then a new Text Flow frame and all is well. So I need to start again each time not just edit an existing doc? BTW I always use Styles.

Nope the type stays the correct size in the original frame unless I resize the type in the new frame.

Nope I used the text flow icon

No I have overtyped an earlier version that for some reason that I can't fathom did not behave in this way.

Sadly not got that capability. What ever I do the text flow icon results in atext box with tiny type and when I try remove charcter style or resize the existing correct sized type goes bigger.

Yes and when you use it I get tiny type as per screenshots.

Isn’t that just a multi-column text frame?
According to Affinityy its the tool you use to extend text to a new frame on another page.

What ‘spectacles’ link are you referring to? When there is overflowing text, an eye icon is displayed next to the red link triangle on the right-hand edge of the frame, but I don’t recall ever seeing anything resembling spectacles (vertical or otherwise).

A black 'rounded'square above an identical squarte connected by vertical lines. I then get this result.

One common cause (user error) for that is resizing a text frame by using the detached handle on the lower right. That handle both resizes the frame and rescales any text that goes into the box. Instead, if you don't want rescaling, you must use the corner handle. If you've done that I think you'll need to delete and recreate that frame.
Another common cause is some kind of bug associated with IDML import.
I am using the verticle 'spectacles' link.

When an overflowing text box is used to create a new text box, the text in the new box is tiny (typically 5pt) and when this is corrected the text in the original box becomes huge (around 48pt).

The problemns caused by a resizing a text box before flowing text from it. See my posts of yesterday. Not a bug just illogical behaviour.
