Godsgirl Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 In my Pages section, my linked text frame has x's all around the frame instead of circles. I need to change the size of the frame. How do I get the circles to come back on the page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted September 7 Staff Share Posted September 7 Hi @Godsgirl, Your text frame likely belongs to a master page, you can edit the dimensions of the text frame by selecting the Master page layer on that specific page and then select Edit: 'Detached' along the context toolbar, this will allow you to freely move the object and once done, press 'Finish' to commit your change. Alternatively, this is more unlikely but the text frame could be locked in the layers panel which prevents transformations, simply press the padlock icon again to reverse this.

Keep in mind that compared to the previous method, the modification is applied to all pages that use this master page (which corresponds to the meaning of Master pages).

You are awesome! No worries, also just worth noting what Pšenda mentioned above about editing the master page as I had missed the most common one out!
