Page has dropped 3/4" from the rest of the 40-page document!

So, I'm working along in Indesign CC, and suddenly, I realize that the other half the center spread page is about 3/4 lower than the rest of the pages. Don't know when or how it happened, but I don't have any idea how to fix this. I'm on deadline, and I really hate to have to copy and past the entire document into a new one...

Anyone have this happen, or know how to make it revert to its proper position? See attached.pages misaligned.jpg

Use the Page tool to move the page (third from top of the Tools panel). See below:

Did using the Page tool solve the problem or did you solve it another way?

I quit Indesign, restarted the laptop, and then when I reopened the file, the page tool worked. The other option I would have tried had that not worked would have been to save a copy, delete everything after that page, add the number of new pages necessary and then cut and paste from the original document. Restarting was easier and faster.

I tried to do that, but it won't budge. <sigh>

I'd kinda like to know how/why/what I must have done to make that happen. Some odd combination of keys, perhaps?

I don't think it could have happened with keys. More likely, you accidentally chose the Page tool instead of the Selection tool, and made an unnoticed "drag," which moved the page.
