Copy and paste issue between v. 206 and 221

[jmwellborn]

Actually, since we know to be wary, per Patrick Connor's repeated and careful instructions, I have been.   But for fun I tried to copy a full page of text (single text frame and no images) from a several-linked-text-frames document created in v. 206 and paste it into a new (and pristine) document created in v. 221.   The pasted text frame appeared in an elongated and skinny form, but broken into two strange sections, extending above, below, and well within the preset page margins of the new document, with all linking ability removed.    The text frame could be adjusted to fit the new page margins, but it was still broken arbitrarily into two un-linkable sections.  Moral of the story.    Hang on to v. 206 if working on anything within .206, and start with .221 with anything new.    But .221 downloaded like a dream, otherwise, with all systems GO.

You really waste a lot of other peoples time trying to read this mess of a badly formatted text. 

Try to state in clear words what you want to do and what is the issue you facing. If that is not too much to ask.

@jmwellborn didn't find a problem,but simply tested if the 206 is that much different to the 221 version.
The advice given is, stick with a project already made in the 206 version and create new in 221 version and don't try to mix.
 

That is how I read it too.

And how I read it.  But it does give Steps a chance to deploy his grouchy face on a slow weekend!!

Thank you haakoo and Old Bruce.   Problem solved.  Pilot error.   "Yes Yankee, you make one very silly mistake!"   Old World War II joke.   Very funny.
