Row13 Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Hello my fellow Affinity peeps. By any chance has anybody had this issue where the page number from the Master page will not go into my text box Only on one page of my book? Here is my master page with page number box in the correct spot, and all the page numbers are correct on every single page except for page 6. Now here is page 6 with the 6 outside of the text frame. I cannot get the six in the text frame no matter what I try. From the Master page layer on page 6 I have checked the "edit detached" and I can move the box but when I do, the box moves but the 6 stays where it is. I also tried the different alignments to get the six higher but the 6 will not move into the text frame. I'm not sure what I am missing. Thanks Quote
Twolane Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 It appears there's an overflow symbol showing up. What happens when you extend the p/n box up (or down) by grabbing a handle?

Row13 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 It moves where I want it to but the 6 stays where it is. Weird. Quote
Twolane Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 I didn't mean for you to move the box. You have a text overflow indicator showing. What happens when you lengthen the box until that disappears? Or, enlarge the box until the red symbol disappears. Does anything else show up in the box? Or, perhaps you could try clearing the master on that page, and re-apply it. (Don't forget to save a backup, first.)

I can only move the box but cannot lengthen or change the size of the box. Thank you for your help. Quote
iconoclast Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Is the text frame of the page number aligned to a baseline grid? Possibly the setting of the baseline grid fixes the "6" there. Or does the main text frame possibly supersede the "6"? Quote
StuartRc Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Could it be the text wrap settings on either your page text or the number frame settings on the master page?

But I was able to pull up my text frame and therefore give more room to put the 6 higher up. As show at least removes the preflight error I was getting so I'll leave it there I guess. Thank you all for the help. Ugh, i'm such a noob. Quote

That's what StuartRC meant, and what I meant too. Text Wrap is made to supersede text in different ways to let it flow around shapes or fill shaped text frames. Row13 1 Quote
Row13 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 Thank you all for the responses. I was able to get into the text wrap settings and manipulate it a little more so it's acceptable. Quote
