mbalent Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 Partial screenshot from my document Even if I put extra text at the bottom of the doc, the "Text Flow" triangle remains blue. It doesn't go to Red, and better yet, I see no way to designate the next text frame for the text to flow to. Ideas? How do you correct text flow? Say you designated an incorrect page to flow and you want to re-do it? Thanks
Oufti Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 From your partial screenshot, it's not clear for me wether last lines of text are in a text frame or in a table ?

mbalent Posted September 4, 2024 Author Posted September 4, 2024 There is a table with the text on the second page. The text now goes past the bottom as shown here: But no way to 'flow' it to the next page. Also, I seem to have lost the ability to edit the text in the document now... Trying to keep a positive attitude...
mbalent Posted September 4, 2024 Author Posted September 4, 2024 Also have lost the ability to see the text flow as in my original screen shot...
mbalent Posted September 4, 2024 Author Posted September 4, 2024 Got back to seeing the text flow. Appears I need to unlock the text area from the Master Page once I add new pages to the document. Still cannot designate the text flow. I want it to go to the text box on the lower left hand page (inserted via the Master Page).
Catshill Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 It look to me as though you have multiple frames on top of each other on the same page. The layers panel will show if this is the case.

It can also be a collision of frames on Page and Master Page.

Agreed, the blue text flow line that appears to go from the left "text flow in" control to the right "text flow out" control is a giveaway, there are likely two frames stacked on each other for it to appear this way. You may need to re-apply the masters and do some clean up.

mbalent Posted September 4, 2024 Author Posted September 4, 2024 Thanks for the help. I ended up finding how to remove the text flow 'arrow' or 'blue line' thing by clicking on the triangle and then pressing Esc key.
