The Preflight panel will show that you have a \u201ctext\u201d error. Hold down the Option\/Alt key and click the \u201cexpand\u201d triangle, and you&#8217;ll see all the <strong>text<\/strong> problems, including the oversets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> Best answer for this question, what does it mean when <strong>InDesign<\/strong> says there is overset <strong>text<\/strong>? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/clR-XAw-FPo\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Quick Answer, how will an InDesign user know if there is a text overset issue all of the text does not fit visibly within the frame? How do we know if we have <strong>overset<\/strong> text? One quick and easy way is to look at your text box. If it has a little red plus icon, as seen below, it means you have <strong>overset<\/strong> text within this text box that is not being displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this, how do you stop overset text in InDesign? Go to: Preferences > Type > Smart <strong>Text<\/strong> Reflow = ON, and Limit to Primary Text Frames = OFF. If you have overset text, delete the last <strong>text<\/strong> frame in the story and <strong>InDesign<\/strong> will automatically add new text frames and pages.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, how do you show hidden <strong>text<\/strong> in InDesign? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Launch <strong>InDesign<\/strong> and open your project.<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Type&#8221; in the upper menu and select &#8220;Show Hidden Characters.&#8221; All of the invisible characters should now appear on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can find the Links Panel in the View Menu; >View >Links. To get the wanted changes updated in Indesign, use the Links Panel. You can also unlink (embed) files here. You can use the Links Panel to update, re-link or remove the linked files.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the red plus in InDesign?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you see a red plus sign in the lower right of your text box (see below), it means that there is too much text (or the font is too big) to fit inside the text box. Make sure you&#8217;re on the black Pointer tool and then click and hold on one of the corner handles and drag the box until it is big enough to fit your text.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where is the content grabber in InDesign?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The content grabber appears as a circle when you hover over an image using the Selection tool. Use the content grabber to select and move the content of a frame with the Selection tool still selected.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I link text overflow in InDesign?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Using the Selection tool, select a text frame, and then click the in port or the out port to load a text icon. Position the loaded text icon over the frame you want to connect to. The loaded text icon changes to the thread icon. Click inside the second frame to thread it to the first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get rid of overset text?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Use Ctrl if you&#8217;re using a Windows system, and Cmd if you&#8217;re on a Mac OS.

Then simple hit Delete to banish the text forever, and make your Preflight panel very happy!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Where is Preflight in InDesign?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Choose Window > Output > Preflight.
