If this is the issue, fix or change the font. Check this by switching to a different, known good font (Myriad Pro, for example).

Save to IDML, then use that to create a fresh INDD, which will be smaller and free of internal errors. InDesign documents are actually database files, and as they are being worked on and edited they accumulate internal "cruft" that always makes the file larger and sometimes causes weird behavior. When the problem is with a specific document, here is the order of likelihood: When this kind of random, inexplicable behavior occurs in InDesign, there are relatively few reasons. Unfortunate that I wasn't able to answer this at the time, but for posterity: Any clues out there? No threaded text exists at this point (one problem at at time, oy!), no hidden objects, nothing overly complicated. I've been searching for a solution for 2 weeks to no avail. I have tried copying/pasting a 'good' set of photo + text wrap into a new page to only have it undo the text wrap on ALL pages. Worst case scenario, "Ignore Text Wrap" undoes ALL the correct text wraps that already exist in the rest of the document. If I uncheck the box, the type appears again but runs across the photo. If I go to Object/Text Frame Options and check mark the box, "Ignore Text Wrap", the type disappears. If I drag it back into the appropriate page, the text disappears as mentioned above. If I drag the same photo and text outside that particular page, the text magically appears and is wrapped correctly. When I attempt to text wrap it, the text disappears, but the photo shows, as does the outline of the text box. I add a photo, it shows as under the type. If I set the text up, drop in placeholder text, it shows. On some pages, text wrap works perfectly! On other pages, the text wrap will flat-out not work. If you don't do this and just start dragging instead, you will create strange and beautiful bezier curves that can be useful if you want to create a very smooth outline around your object, but you should play with the pen tool for some time before trying this out on a text wrap.I have a multi-page document set up on logically ordered layers (background, photos, type, etc.

If you make a control point then want to drag it around immediately, remember to hold down Control (Ctrl), so your pointer changes to a little arrow.

(Basically the text wrap is simply following a Path, which is what you create when you normally work with the pen tool). You can do this as many times as you would like. You can now click on the blue line and a new drag point should appear on the line, which you can pull around and arrange just like the 4 points that are automatically created at each corner of the rectangle. With the text wrap box selected, click on the Pen tool in the tools menu at the left (just under the pointer tool at the top right-hand corner of the menu.) Now move your new pen pointer over the blue outline and you should see a little + appear on your pointer.

If you need to make a complicated shape that follows an object, you'll need to add new points to the line.

From there just play with the light blue box until it is in the right shape. If you’re lucky you’ll see a lighter blue set of lines stretching out to where you dragged them. Click carefully inside the darker outer box and drag out. In the little blue box that appears at every corner of the image you’ll see a lighter blue box.

The only way to do this that I currently know is as follows: right after you click on the text wrap option in the text wrap palette go down to your image but don’t deselect.

To see the corners of the wrap box, select the pointer tool that is not solid black, but is the white centered one underneath the standard pointer. This will expand the light blue box without deselecting the image. The tricky part is separating the text wrap line from the image line! The easiest way to do this is to manipulate the wrap box by enlarging it with the up and down arrows near the chain link icon. So you can modify that text wrap line in any way, indicating which places you would like to be textless.

What InDesign does is create one thin boundary line to mark out the object and then it also has a thin boundary line that the text wraps around.

You do this by first importing an object and applying a standard text wrap as described above.

With InDesign you can actually do a lot of very sophisticated text wrapping by customizing the wrap shape (rather than just a square or rectangle, you can make it any shape you want).
