Using Win2K or WinXP, Frame 6.0, I am using a two-column layout in a multi-page document. Text flows are set to auto-connect, so text should automatically flow onto the next page if it won't fit on the current page.

The problem: at times, Frame puts the text outside (below) the margins of the page (outside the text frame). The left column is fine, but the right column text can end up with 1-2 lines of hidden text. If I re-apply the master page usage, to all the pages, the problem temporarily disappears. But as soon as I edit the text, it can happen again.

When the text is outside the frame/in the margin, I get a solid black line across the bottom of both columns of text in the text frame.

Perhaps related to this, widow/orphan control works only intermittently. I have widow/orphan lines set to 2, but I still get single lines of text on occasion.

Finally, I have the two-column text frames set to "Balance Columns". I just discovered that shutting this off solves the problem, but then I don't get the layout that I am looking for.

Anyone observed similar behavior? Any fixes/workarounds? Would it help to post an example file? (How do I do that? First-timer in Abode forums, hoping that I searched all the right places before making this post....)
