Page numbers created on Master Pages do partly not appear on the document pages. What could cause this?

[Hanjoerg]

The page numbers are placed on the page bottom wit a distance of about 5 mm to the textbox.
The number is not shown but the box with blue filling. Making the texbox smaller in hight the number appears.

Is there a minimum distance from Page number to a textbox? 

Looking forward to hearing from you..

Kind regards

Welcome to the forums @Hanjoerg

If the Text Wrap Bottom distances for the Image layer or the Frame Text layer, in this case, are set then they could be 'interfering' with the page number.

Have a look at the Text Wrap options for the Image and Frame Text layers and see if the values for Bottom are not zero.

See attached video.

Thank you for your quick response.
You are right. I did not realize that there was a 5 mm margin not around the "page number box" but around the "text box" because I did not add such a margin by intention.
I am used to InDesign and some actions are different. It would help a lot if an extra space added was shown. Nevertheless my problem is solved now. Thanks a lot!

If you are suggesting that it might be useful if there was a way to be able to view the Text Wrap ‘area’ around layers, so we could see this sort of problem more easily – maybe an extra option in the View menu – then I would agree, and it might be a good idea for a feature request (if one doesn’t already exist).

Yes, that's the right forum for feature requests.

I soon learned tot set the frames containing the page nummers tot 'ignore text wraps'.
