Reply To: Resizing text frames to defaults

I have seen many instances in IDCS4 where a blank page replaces what used to be correctly formatted text with footnotes, with that content flowed onto the following page(s). Usually, adding a point or two to the blank frames' height brings the text back, and I think I can often go back to the original height and still keep the text in place.

I take this to be one of ID's “little ways” with footnotes. To me, it resembles ID's habit of occasionally losing the separator line above the footnotes when I use a different separator for footnotes that continue onto a second page, as if the footnote-making sub-process doesn't quite complete properly. ID's preflighting will generally flag overset text caused by the re-flowing after the blank frame, but I find I have to check the footnote separators individually. Or, if I remember, I can just run the fix for the latter problem: change the document's separator and then change it back.
