Auto Text Flow Causing issues

In my book layout at page 51 I have inserted 16 pages with graphics. This is now causing issues with  auto text flow.

I want to text flow to flow from text Page 51 to  text page 68

At present its flowing from page 51 to 52  Top Left hand side and then to the same page on the right on the graphic page  and then to page 68 leaving page 68 blank. I see that the end of the text flow is a red circle. When i double click the flow red icon all the pages disappear and mess up the layout.

I would like to text flow starting at page 51 to 68 directly bypassing  the first page with graphic on  Page 52. Is that possible.

Check your layers panel. You may have two text frames on top of each other on page 52.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

You can unlink the text frames to re-flow the text however you want. Select the Frame Text tool and then click a Text Flow In or Out control (the solid triangles). You may have to move the mouse a little but then you'll see the mouse cursor change to include a red broken link symbol. Click the control a second time to break the link. Then you can manually link the frames in a different order. Click an empty Text Flow Out control (an empty triangle) and then click on the frame you want to link to.

Looking at the layers as suggested and I see the Master page is adding information from Page1 to other pages as unlinked attribute text. (Is this  normal?)

If I apply  Master to  any of the Graphic Pages. I'm not getting the unlinked attribute text. Its naming them correctly Frame Text/2 and Frame Text/1
