Text Cut Off in Pages

I am working in a formatted/graphically designed Pages doc. I wanted to increase the line spacing, but when I did that, it cut off a lot of text at the end of the document. How do I expand the document such that the missing text reappears?

Take a look in the Documents panel. Is Document Body selected or unselected. If the latter, you are using the Pages page layout format and text would need to be placed in one or more Text boxes.


If that is the case, when you increase line spacing in a Text box, you risk overflowing the Text box which is indicated by the ⊞ symbol. Your options are to reduce the line spacing, reduce or change the font, or link the Text box to a new Text box (which may require another page) so truncation does not occur and the text will flow between the two Text boxes.
