In some cases, the number disappears and I have an "empty" frame with the overflow tag.What settings do I need so that I can overlay a text frame anywhere on a picture, so that the text in the frame is always visible?I don't quite follow. The overflow tag showing in an 'empty' frame indicates that the frame is not big enough for the first line (or char). It usually means that the height of the frame is not enough for the text or character height. Try making the frame a little bigger in the y direction until the text pops in to view, or alternatively make the font size smaller.
Changing the size of the frame makes no difference. I've now worked out the solution ... switch off "lock to grid" in Format Text.
