This year I updated from CS6 to CC 2015. This is my 4th year creating catalogs at this particular job. I am using Adobe InDesign (CC 2015) and I am creating a 200+ page catalog. I have all the pages assembled as facing pages and I am using the “book” option. I have all the images and text boxes in the right place and all my pages are corrected and saved. I had to restart my computer due to a system glitch. Once I restarted and opened up InDesign, I re-opened the book I was working on. Now, every page is messed up. On the left hand pages, several (not all) text boxes and graphics shifted toward the right, aligning themselves to the page border. On the right hand pages, several (not all) text boxes and graphics shifted toward the left, aligning themselves to the page border. So as an overview, some of the text boxes and graphics from both facing pages now suddenly moved to the spline area between the facing pages. Now, I have to go back and fix 200+ page and manually move each element. Have any of you see this before? Any thoughts?

Sounds to me like someone added a single page somewhere:

@David – I am in control of all the files and I learned long ago not to add one page…. That was a horrible mistake! Ha-ha! In this particular situation, I finalized the corrections, closed the files and saved the book. I restarted and when I opened, everything was not as I left it. No one has the ability to access my files to mess with them either. It is also weird that it is not all the images/text that move. If I have 4 text boxes and 2 images, 2 of the text boxes and one of the images move toward the spline. Nothing else on the page moves. It is so weird and now it will cost me hours and hours to fix it all!

Because it is a book, it’s possible that you had reflow in some early chapter which caused one page to be added (if that option is turned on in the book panel’s page numbering options dialog box). Do you have a PDF of the previous version to check page numbers?
I agree that it sounds like a weird mystery. If it were just one file, I’d say maybe something was corrupted and you should do an IDML roundtrip to clear it up. But if this is more than one file, it’s really bizarre.
