My text boxes disappear on my designed pages...

Has anyone ever had this issue where they started dragging a text box that is filled with text, to the left or right then you can no longer see the text thats in the box, it disappears and you can only see the empty text Frame and if you drag it around a little you can see the text in the frame. It sees like it needs to be at a certain x or y position. Can someone please help me with this!!! I use this program to layout the inside pages of books but the text boxes need some help!!

Hi Kisha,

Every object you insert or paste into a Pages document arrives with Text Wrap set to Automatic. Your text is disappearing because you have dragged the box close to one of these objects.

Select the object, then open the Format Inspector (click the Format Brush) and choose Arrange. Reset the Wrap from Automatic to none, then experiment with the other settings to see which fits your current situation.

Regards,

Barry
