Removing overset text in empty table rows (InDesign CS5.5)

LeslieInV Sep 15, 2011 11:58 AM

I have some overset text in a table that appears to be empty rows. I've opened story editor so I can remove the text, but I can't select the area that's overset (the red lines). How does one remove this overset stuff if you can't select it.

Have you tried adjusting the height of the row to reveal the over set text?

Or try placing your cursor in the cell in question and just hit the delete key...Sometimes invisible characters like column break can be accidently added.

Or perhaps, highlighting the entire row and hit the backspace key.

There was no actual text that extended beyond the text box, but when I fiddled with the row height, the overset text error went away.

Thanks!
