Text no longer staying in bounding box,...

A new ID user, I've just done my first book layout. Nearly finished, one last change had to be made (enlarging chapter headings) which has thrown everything off. Now text has moved outside bounding box and there's bunching of lines towards the end of page due to a baseline shift made previously.



The answers can be found here, I'm aware, but my time for the learning curve is short. I'd be very appreciative of help.

You'll need to provide a lot more detail about what you've done and how many frames you are using.



I'm not sure what you mean by ''bounding box'' here -- that normally means the smallest rectangle that will enclose an object or group, but I get the sense that perhaps you are referring to the page margin guides. The bounding box for a text frame is generally the same as the frame size, and with very few exceptions text will not go outside the frame, but baseline shift could do it.



Properly used, baseline shift is a powerful and useful tool, but it should be used very sparingly, only to align selected glyphs that you want to adjust, not usually entire lines or paragraphs. For that you would want to adjust the paragraph space before/after or the leading in the line (though I wouldn't, personally, set a single line with a different leading).

I think when you say ''bounding box'' here you mean frame, so I'm guessing

you added some text and it's gone into overset (little red plus sign at

the bottom right of the frame). This just means that there's too much

text in the frame. Either make it smaller so it fits in the frame,

enlarge the frame so it fits, or click on the red plus sign to load the

cursor and click the cursor on the next page or available space for a

second frame.
