Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, its not as simple as this.

Other strangeness I've seen, (which might help point towards the 
problem, is that
when you delete information in the Story Editor, ie a line of text the 
text goes from the text frame ok, but the line isnt removed in the Story 
Editor unless you go back and click in it again.

Please if anyone has any ideas of how to fix this, I'm all ears and 
prepared to send logs/screenshots etc or whatever might help to diagnose 
this.
