Text not showing in linked frames

When I Select All and paste into BBEdit all of the text is there. This happens quite frequently.

I started using the Save History feature as a result. Sometimes returning to a previous history state reveals the text and sometimes it doesn't.

It seems to happen when I use the Update "xxx" style in the Text Styles dropdown menu

Hi @tpauly and welcome to the forums. I recommend turning on Text > Show Special Characters so that you can see your column breaks.

There isn't any text in the heading and body frames on page 87. The top frame just as a column break in it, as does the upper body frame below. Then it links to the category which has Fillings in it, then to the lower right body frame which again just has a column break in it.

There is no text here to review, but the reasons text might be invisible are you've set it to white, to no fill, or to 0% opacity.

Try using  Flow attributes in the Paragraph Styles instead of the plethora of Column, Frame and Page breaks which are scattered in the text. For example I changed only the Start: Anywhere to Next page and a lot of the recipes "came back". I then deleted some of the various breaks and more text became visible.

Brilliant feature. I didn’t know about it.
