Hi Jan ),
in the newsgroups

|| The template I use has evolved through various versions of
|| Publisher. In looking more closely at it, I see some variations.
|| My template starts with 7 blank pages, with one large text frame on
|| each page. The first three pages have a text box margin of .04". The
|| next four pages have a margin of .0396". These last text frames are
|| also slightly larger on the page. I likely started with a three page
|| template and later added another four pages. In comparing my present
|| document with the template, I can see no changes in either the text
|| box margin, nor in the size of text boxes, except where I shortened
|| the box to include a graphic at the bottom of the page when a
|| particular sub-topic ended. I often shorten frames for the
|| convenience of sub-topics. I seldom alter text frame margins.
|| The document I am working on was proving particularly difficult
|| yesterday. Finally it would not readjust to proper layout even when
|| I returned to the first page. So I had to delete a blank line on the
|| first page. Since then I have had no text jumping onto the next
|| page. (I have deleted lines in the past only to find out that I
|| eventually needed to put them back so the text would line up with
|| the illustration.)

If this is a super old template getting used over and over, you should try
to create a new template with new text boxes etc. Over time, this template
may become corrupt and display such odd behavior as you see now.
