Pagination FM 11

[Gutierrez, Anita]

Ah, yes, thanks for adding to the list of possible culprits, Fred!  In particular, I've also seen the cloned main text frame.  That's a tough one to troubleshoot because as you say, it overlies the "real" one.  Here's how I finally found it:

Ctrl-click on the main text frame.
Grab one of the selection handles and drag it to the up or left to make it smaller than the "real" frame.
Press Ctrl-L to refresh the view.
If you still see the outline of the main text frame, then the frame you just resized is extra. Delete it.
If you don't still see the main text frame, the one you resized is actually the "real" frame.  Press Ctrl-Z to undo the resizing.

This is much the same suggestion I was going to make. But there are other types of invisible things that cause the same behavior. For example, it can be an empty graphic frame rather than a text frame. And the text frame can be big rather than small--there have been cases in the past when users accidentally created a clone of the main text frame that is virtually impossible to see because it exactly overlies the default frame. A custom master page assignment also counts as something that will make a specific page non-empty even if there is no visible content.
