Leothedino Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Just purchased Publisher, was doing well learning this by myself until i've hit a real catch. I have a two page spread, I seem to be able to put everything bar a Frame Text in the left page, if I try, all the words get shunted around the edge of the page like there is some kind of barrier stopping me from typing in there. As you can see in the screenshot, the frame text box is partially in the page, but the words are pushed away and around the edges (only being allowed in the 3mm bleed). Why is this happening?

GarryP Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Check the master page to see if you have a rectangle (or other shape or layer) which covers the left-hand page and also has the text wrap switched on (see attached GIF). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leothedino Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I tried playing with the master page (i haven't added anything to it, just worked off the basic one given to me when I started a 'new project'), I played with the option you were demonstrating in the GIF, nothing changed. I've uploaded the file to see if anybody can see this too? Really out of my depth on this one, and at this stage I think i've click every option and button to try and fix it, really frustrated.

Murfee Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi @Leothedino, if you look at the group on the left master page there is text wrapping, if you remove this your problems will be solved 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leothedino Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Oh that worked! Wow, must have switched that on by accident... huh, weird. Thank you so much for the speedy help and I learnt something today. Kudos! Edited February 7, 2020 by Leothedino Murfee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 In all of your master pages you have various layers with Text Wrap set to “Tight” – “Left (Group)” and the bottom Group in that Group – not just the one mentioned by Murfee above. If you remove these Text Wraps you will allow the text to come over to the left-hand page. You must have added things to the master pages as what is in the document isn’t what you get by default.
