When you insert a Text box object and exceed the dimensions of that object with text, the [+] overflow symbol appears.

Here is how you can eliminate that symbol…


  1. You can enlarge the text box so that all text is exposed
  2. Select the text and change the font and/or reduce its size
  3. Remove some text or white space
  4. Insert another Text box and link them so the overflow text spills into the second text box.
