Why does existing text box text disappear when I paste in more text or link another text box


Recommended Posts

Currently, page nine has an overflowing text box. I would like it to be linked to page ten and have the text pushed to the top of that page, where there appears to be space. When I do this, though, the text (but not the images) of the subsequent pages seems to disappear. If I instead copy the overflowing text and paste it into onto page 10, the same thing happens. Can anyone explain what's happening here? File attached. 

Thanks!

EDITED 

You're going to need to remove the linked text on pages 10-11 before you can flow on from page 9.

Steps:

Select text on pages 10-11.

Cmd-x (Mac) to cut it.

Link the text frame on page 9 to the text frame on page 10. This will flow the text from page 9 to page 10.

Click at the end of the text on page 10.

Paste the cut text back in, after the flowed text from page 9.

(Gratuitous bit of proofreading: it's "Breathe in", not "breath in".)
