Hi, I am working on Affinity Publisher on a Mac. I created several Masters without any problems but when I applied my latest master to one of my pages it won't let me move the text it created. It has Xs around the selection box. How do I fix this? (see screenshot)

Looks to be locked, see if you can unlock it in the layers panel.

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Text Frames inherited from a Master Page can have their text contents changed, but the frames themselves are locked as they are part of the Master Page. To move such a frame, or adjust its size, you would need to right-click on the Master Page layer in the Layers panel and choose Edit Detached. Move or resize the frame as needed, then click Finished.
