Well, it's because text and text layout blocks are independent. The text stream is stored in one place, and the layout block in another. The latter is obviously, according to your investigations, attached to a measure and specific to a page. The layout block is deleted when the page is deleted. But the text stream that was displayed in that text block is still there. I see that the only way to delete an unused text block is to use the Edit Text dialog and scroll to the text you want to delete, then highlight it and delete it. When you thn scroll back to ID 1, the deleted text will no longer be there. This is very helpful to me, as I didn't know this before, and was scrolling through tons of useless text blocks to get to my "Lesenverzeichnis" text block. -- David W.
