KnikmanAV Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I am stuck with a text frame that is partly outside the spread/margins. Frame is empty and not connected to any other frame. I cannot select it and delete it. I makes export "impossible" because of an "overflow error" (no other overflowing text frames visible with textflow enabled). Any thoughts?

walt.farrell Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 First thought: Is the export truly "impossible" or do you just have to click past the warning message? Second thought: Select it on the Layers panel, and delete it from there. Finally, I have no problem selecting such a Text Frame, on Windows, using either the Move Tool or the Frame Text Tool. Of course, if you don't have View > Show Text Flow enabled then it's hard to find/see such a frame unless you use the Layers panel, but if I know it's there I can still click on it even though it's invisible. If you're not using View > Show Text Flow then I recommend doing so. jmwellborn 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnikmanAV Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi Walt, Thanks for the reaction. No I can't export. I do use text flow enabled. But I can't select it. If i click on it nothing happens. On the layers panel of that page the frame isn't visible as a layer. When adding a new spread and delete the old spread the frame is on the new spread. Closing/restarting still shows the frame. Rebooting the system doesn't help either. So... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's present on a new spread, then it's probably on your Master Page, and you'll need to switch to the Master Page and look at its Layers panel.
