Linking to pages that are based on a master flows text to master?

[William_Brownville@adobeforums.com]

Why? Has anyone else had problems with this? I saw some discussion of it in a previous thread, but saw no solutions. Any ideas?

I'm guessing that you are using InDesign CS2. If not, then ignore the following.

This was/is a bug that could happened if there were more than 80 pages (or was it 84?) in the document. I think it was fixed in one of the recent updates (4.0.3 or 4.0.4). What version are you running?

[William_Brownville@adobeforums.com]

Thanks for replying - I am running 4.03... (and yes I am using CS2)

[Peter_Truskier@adobeforums.com]

Hmm. Perhaps I'm wrong that this was fixed, then. Did it only start to happen after 80 pages?

[William_Brownville@adobeforums.com]

I just checked the doc - when I link to a master when there's 60 pages it doesn't happen....when I go over 80 it DOES, so you to have identified the issue. I guess I will get the 4.04 update and see if that works....

[Fred_Goldman@adobeforums.com]

Yes, the 4.04 update addresses this issue.

See this technote:

you thread text in upper page ranges (InDesign CS2)

A little note on the above.

The fix is supposed to work on the problem that happens only when you have a master text frame on a master page.

But one of my students (whom I trust) swears to me that he has had the problem even if there is no master text frame.

So I hope that the fix works even if you don't have a master text frame.
