Pages objects disappear

Hi,

I am working in Layout mode and am moving an object around. And if I move the object with my mouse to a region on the page, it disappears. I can see that it is there, but I becomes invisible. Elsewhere on the page, no issues.But if move the object with my arrows, it might not didsappear. A square doesn't disappear when moved with arrows, but a text box still disappears.

I don't think there is anything else on the layout page blocking visiblity and and I tried doing same with a fresh blank page within the document the issue still occurs.

I would appreciate help or suggestions on how to resolve this.

Best,

Hi!

I got the document and it definitely it the problem that happens with some large documents in Pages. Earlier we have seen the similar behaviour in Word Processing documents. In your document you still can move the objects but you only see the outlining about the last 3 centimeters on the page. As Jeff suggested copy the content over to a new blank template is ften a good solution.

I also ha other problems after while but reopning the document got rid of them. It seems that when a document has a lot of information Pages has problem handling them.

Thank you so much for your help. I have followed the advise, the document has been cut into pieces and the newer, and smaller, pieces are now working as one might expect.
