Re: text frame that isn't visible

Based on your questions, it sounds as if there's something or some things wrong in your template. If I were you, I'd think about creating a new, clean template and applying it to any of your files/books that have the symptoms you're asking about. It sounds as if you're building stuff on what

Re: text frame that isn't visible

Hi Art: I hope someday soon to know enough to rewrite these templates! I'd tackle it now, but the reference pages have me stumped. I have to add pages because there is only one illustration page in the template, and a lot of time our illustrations split over two - three pages. Is there another

RE: text frame that isn't visible

Deirdre, if you have a paragraph tag (for example anchor) that is very very small (like 2 point font) and it is set to start at the top of a page, adding a paragraph with that tag will automatically create a new page and let you add the anchored frame on the new page To me, that sounds
