I've noticed a problem several times where our Incopy file does not match up with InDesign, where the text in InCopy appears to wrap around an item, even though that item is not on the InDesign page. We might have a picture frame on the master page, but when the designer has removed that picture frame from the document page in InDesign, the Incopy file still shows copy wrapping around that object as if it were still on the document page.
So far the work around is to remove the items from the actual master page, but we have a lot of complex template files and this is a pain to ask the designers to do this, when they have already removed these items from the document page.

Sometimes these "ghost" items remain in the InCopy file even though they have been removed from the InDesign master page -- in which case the designer has to create a new blank page in InDesign, and put all the items on this blank page (to make sure they are not picking up the ghost item from the Master page) and update the assignment.
Naturally this bug happens inconsistently, so it's frustrating to troubleshoot. Is it a case of the Indesign file picking up an error? A versioning problem?

I'd love to hear any suggestions.

InDesign CS 3 version 5.0.2, InCopy CS3 version 5.0

Thanks a lot
