Hi Karen, It's possible to accidentally duplicate a text frame on a body page (by an errant Alt+click or other combination), which doesn't then follow the rules. To check for this possibility, make sure borders are visible and Ctrl-click the troublesome text frame to select it (that may require a different key-stroke combo on a Mac), and drag it to the side. If it's a duplicate, the "real" text frame (empty) will remain in place behind it. Copy content from the errant frame into the real frame, and delete the errant. HTH, Stuart Rogers Toronto
