#ADOBE INDESIGN TEXT WRAP FREE#

Keith Gilbert has what he calls his five 'desperation tips' that are worth keeping in mind in case things ever get really difficult. General rules for troubleshooting anything also apply, such as narrowing down the problem. Instructions for doing this are easy to find, so I'll not elaborate here. Save a backup and then trash the preferences file. InDesign's preference file is messed up.To verify, remove or substitute image on the problem page with known good ones. eps files, but even jpegs and tiffs can have issues. If this is the issue, fix or change the font. Check this by switching to a different, known good font (Myriad Pro, for example).

Save to IDML, then use that to create a fresh INDD, which will be smaller and free of internal errors. InDesign documents are actually database files, and as they are being worked on and edited they accumulate internal 'cruft' that always makes the file larger and sometimes causes weird behavior. When the problem is with a specific document, here is the order of likelihood: When this kind of random, inexplicable behavior occurs in InDesign, there are relatively few reasons. Unfortunate that I wasn't able to answer this at the time, but for posterity: Any clues out there? No threaded text exists at this point (one problem at at time, oy!), no hidden objects, nothing overly complicated. I've been searching for a solution for 2 weeks to no avail. I have tried copying/pasting a 'good' set of photo + text wrap into a new page to only have it undo the text wrap on ALL pages. Worst case scenario, 'Ignore Text Wrap' undoes ALL the correct text wraps that already exist in the rest of the document. If I uncheck the box, the type appears again but runs across the photo. If I go to Object/Text Frame Options and check mark the box, 'Ignore Text Wrap', the type disappears. If I drag it back into the appropriate page, the text disappears as mentioned above. If I drag the same photo and text outside that particular page, the text magically appears and is wrapped correctly. When I attempt to text wrap it, the text disappears, but the photo shows, as does the outline of the text box. I add a photo, it shows as under the type. If I set the text up, drop in placeholder text, it shows. On some pages, text wrap works perfectly! On other pages, the text wrap will flat-out not work. I have a multi-page document set up on logically ordered layers (background, photos, type, etc.
