The printed pages of a book are usually trimmed down from the larger sheet that they are printed on as part of the production process. This process can have a tolerance of a few millimeters and so guidelines are build in to prevent any unsightly errors.
By making sure all text is inside the ‘safe area’ of 4mm away from the edge of the page we can be confident that all text will not appear too close to the page edge of even missing!
This check looks at the position of the words inside all text frames and highlights any text that is within 4mm of the page edge, sometimes called the ‘trim’.
Fix this problem by moving the text back within the safe area.
