The links…
Julie, could you do me a favour and always include the link you’re
referring to in the email message? I only ask because we have two
sites we’re talking about here, and I have to keep going back through
dozens of messages to find the link to click before I can answer the
current post.
The links seem to be working fine now. The text is still pretty
cramped in the green boxes. Why not model them all on the ‘Examples’
one, which is fine? You could have that much space around the text in
all of them.
The text still falls out of the bottom of all the boxes if you enlarge
the text.
Don’t hate me, but I really don’t like how the page format jumps around each time one clicks on one of the links at the bottom. Consider formatting the main page with links etc. in place as a Master page - then use the same page format for all the child pages.
I have all on the master page too like you suggest. I might cut out of
all to make sur that there is no lingering underlying reason.

Julie, remember that if you tinker around with a ‘master item’ on a
child page you can ‘unlink’ it from the master page. Make sure your
Master page is correct, then on each page either select the master
items one by one and in the inspector make sure that the ‘Use Master
Content’ and ‘Use Master Settings’ are checked.
Be aware that just using the Page Menu to ‘Reapply Master’ can
sometimes leave elements duplicated, if you have altered them on the
child page.
A trick I use is to have a separate blank Master. If you go to a child
page (no items selected) and change the Master to the blank one in the
Inspector, you will see any rogue elements that duplicate master ones.
Just delete them and switch the the Master page back to the one you
want.
Always check your layer order in the Site Panel, after this, and move
only non-master items up or down, if you need to.
