What happen when you moves the pages in the new document?

John Hawkinson Apr 19, 2012 1:42 PM (in response to dcald)A screenshot would help.
You could also unzip the IDML, find it, edit the idml to remove it, and re-zip.

3. Re: Image in Links panel displays as overset but may not exist
dcald Apr 19, 2012 2:04 PM (in response to Manish-Sharma)The file is over 70 pages and all pages are threaded. I have moved text boxes off of the page, deleted text boxes but the image is still listed as overset. I have no idea where ID thinks this images exists or if it exists at all. The links panel displays 2 occurances of the same image. The second one is the actual image I placed and displays as being on a particular page. Then there is a second occurance of the same image displayed as overset. This is what is very strange. All of the images are also anchored.

change the extension from IDML to zip with renaming ....then use any unzipping utility to open the file component.

dcald Apr 19, 2012 2:22 PM (in response to Manish-Sharma)The page that contains the visible image is on page 25, which I have deleted. It no longer shows up in the links panel. But when I click on the other occurance in the Links panel, ID takes me to the end of the file, which is page 70 and highlights that last of the threaded text boxes. That text box has no indication of overset text or any anchored frames.

John Hawkinson Apr 19, 2012 2:49 PM (in response to dcald)The file is over 70 pages and all pages are threaded.
Does that mean it is a single story? You could export the story as InDesign Tagged Text, and then import it to a new document.

dcald Apr 19, 2012 2:53 PM (in response to John Hawkinson)That is what I am in the process of doing right now. I will let you know what happens. Thanks

12. Re: Image in Links panel displays as overset but may not exist
dcald Apr 19, 2012 4:10 PM (in response to John Hawkinson)It looks like I have to recreate the file, another 6 hours of work after spending all day trying to resolve the issue. I wish it was as simple as just as reflowing it but there are too many column adjustments I had to make, which I try to stay away from, but could not avoid in this file. What is strange is that even after deleting all of the text in this file, all of the images are now listed as OV in the links panel instead of going away. This has happened in the past with InCopy stories but we have been able to delete the links from the panel. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to delete these image links from the Links panel despite the fact that they no longer exist. I will start with a new file and at least flow in the tagged text format but I am now on edge that this could happen again since I do not know the cause.

lilia@ Apr 19, 2012 4:15 PM (in response to dcald)do you by any chance have any layers hidden? the image/s could be on there... and what about the preflight panel... is should tell you where it is.

14. Re: Image in Links panel displays as overset but may not exist
dcald Apr 19, 2012 4:20 PM (in response to lilia@)Just one layer and it is visible. Preflight indicates that there is no overset text. I spend much of my time troubleshooting for my clients and have been teaching ID for over a decade but this one has really got me stumped.
