While designing your book, you may run into certain warnings when you attempt to save your page. If left unchecked, these warnings will also appear as you approve your page content in the Final Approval process. Heeding these warnings can make a difference in the quality of your yearbook. Here’s an explanation of some of the warnings you may see.

Pre- Flight Warnings while Working in the Designer

Text in overflow:

While working in the designer, you might notice that some of your photos or text boxes have a yellow triangle in the bottom right hand corner as shown below.

 This is called “Text in overflow”.  This happens when a character(s) is not showing in the text box because the box is too small.  This can happen if you hit “enter” to make an extra space, or if you forgot to delete a placeholder text on the very end of your text box.

Click on the “text in overflow” warning on the Document Warnings pop-up window, and the text box that has the issue will automatically be selected on the page.

Dragging the corner of the text box outward to make room for all of the text will resolve the warning. You may also make the font size smaller, though any font smaller than 8 point will be hard to read in print.

Fit To Frame:

This warning will appear when the frame around a photo is cutting off part of the picture, or there is space between the edge of the picture and a side of the frame. To fix this issue, select the warning in the Documents Warnings popup window, and the photo with the warning will be automatically selected. Then, double-click on the Photo Settings tab on the right-hand side of the page to open these advanced options.

Once you have opened these settings. you will see your photo appear as a preview in this panel. There will be an option to change the Fit. More often than not this is set to “Manual”, but if is not, you can change it to manual using the fit dropdown.  Dragging the photo over the entire frame *even if it's a tiny bit* will fix this error.
