Yep, thats exactly it. I found a work around which worked for the last project, but it increases work time, even if only by a small amount.

As the person also said in the other post, this isn't about resizing frames. The text is resizing itself when you group frames, or if you overflow text... I havent touched any text frame handles, select text frame, group, all the text reszies itsellf. Ahhh but I can see where that recipe might have something to do with whats going on. It must be to do with the frames on the original document vs the frames on the new document and so how the bug is interacting between the two... Here's hoping for a fix, this is infuriating, when I still have about 200 pages to go, and have a 5 chain quick key system set up just to group some objects

I think this might have something to do with the imported text. If you import some text frames, then group them, the new document enlarges them by roughly 400%. 9pt to 37.5pt. But if you import the same frames, then create a new text frame and link it for text overflow, as that text passes in to the new frame, it reduces that text by 75%. So I think, somewhere, publisher thinks the imported text is magnified, or enlarged by 400% somehow. I will try to make a video showing the problem.

If I group text frames that have been copy pasted from another document, it will increase the text font size by roughly 405%. 9pt text will increase to 37.5 for example. 48pt text goes up to 200pt. The only work around is to create a new layer, group that layer with no content, then add all text frames to that group. Obvoiously not ideal when you need to group multiple text frames per page on a 300-400 page documen. As rather than select, then a single quick key, it becomes two quick keys, select, two more quick keys. I have seen other posts on this problem, none of which seem to have a fix. Is this a style or setting issue, or a bug?
