How do I resize a text frame?

[bobdobbs]

I know - this should be pretty simple.
But for some reason, I'm unable to do this when text frames are linked.

I have three text frames spanning across three pages.
The text frames are linked: when the text exceeds the capacity of one frame, it resumes on the following frame.

I figured out that I didn't leave adequate space for page footers, so I attempted to resize individual text frames.

But if I select any of the linked frames, the corner and edge handles do not appear on most of the frames.

I can see them appear on the final frame. But not any other frames.

How can I resize my individual text frames?

Hi, there should be handles for any frame that you select. If you see x icons where the handles should be it's because the frame is locked and can't be edited. This would happen if you locked the frame using the Layers panel (or through a keyboard shortcut by accident) or if the frame was inherited from a master page in which case you need to go to the master page to edit the frame.

Good luck
