"Find Overset Text" Function
The overset text [+] icon can be easily overlooked in a busy document.
There needs to be a way to cycle through text boxes with overset text.
The way the Find/Replace Font dialogue cycles through and focuses on results would be acceptable.
These would be the minimum required buttons.
Find (Next)
Done (Cancel / Exit)
For an efficient workflow, include a preview of the overflowing text within the dialogue .
A "Delete Overset Text" button adjacent to the preview could save a lot of time since overset text boxes often just contain a stray line break.
This function would pair well with the suggestion on an Overset Text Warning on Export (like InDesign)
