A red plus sign at the end of your text path means it wouldn’t fit in the space provided and Illustrator is waiting for you to tell it where to place the “continued” text. This is called “threaded text” in Illustrator and is also a function you will work with in In, and design.
If you see a red plus sign in the lower right of your text box (see below), it means that there is too much text (or the font is too big) to fit inside the text box. Make sure you’re on the black Pointer tool and then click and hold on one of the corner handles and drag the box until it is big enough to fit your text.
If it has a little red plus icon, as seen below, it means you have overset text within this text box that is not being displayed. Let’s deliberately create some overset text, so we can see it in action. If you don’t already have a test document open, create a new document by going to File > New.
This means that the text exceeded the size of the container. You need to make the container larger so that all the text fit in it, or link it to another text container ( click on the red square and then on another text frame). Highly active question.

What do the pink and purple lines mean in InDesign?
The pink lines are guides that indicate MARGINS, the purple lines are guides that indicate COLUMNS. The colours can be changed if required (e. g. they clash with the colours in your document and you cannot see them clearly enough). In you In. Design document, go to In. Design (top right hand of screen)/Preferences/Grids & Pasteboards.
What are the pink lines in indesign?
The lines on the In. Design document represent the following:
The black line (1) indicates the edge of the document where it will be cut at the printers. The pink line (2) is the safety margin area. Keep all images and text that you want on the finished document within this box. The red line (3) is the bleed area. Any images or background colours that you wish to print to the edge of your document must extend to at least this.

How do I fix text that is too big in InDesign?
You can fix this by linking the text to another frame, editing the text so that it fits within the existing frame, or enlarging the size of the frame. How do you get rid of Overtext in In, and design? (Mac) Cmd + Shift + fn + Right-arrow to select all overset text, then hit Delete to remove it.
How do I hide the Pink Lines on my pages?
You can also hide them by going to View > Grids & Guides > Hide Guides (command + ; on a Mac). The pink lines are the bleed marks. Meaning the margin of safety we add to a page so that the printing machine can hold the paper outside the print area.
