Suggestion about Publisher: Send behind Master Page objects


Recommended Posts

QuarkXPress and InDesign have different approach to Master Page Objects. QXP allow you to edit/delete them on working pages as regular objects, while you can not do it in ID because they are locked (you must first unlock them with CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + L only on selected pages).

 

So, how it is connected with the title of the topic?

 

When you like to color the background and try to "send to back" the colored rectangle on working page you can do it in QXP without any problems -- the Master Page Objects are vissible, and you can't see them in ID. So, if you plan to do it ID way (which I don't preffer), then please add a 5th option "Send behind Master Page Objects" in Arrange menu.

I don't think I agree with your assessment here.

 

I much prefer the way inDesign handles the Master Page objects. To me it's much more logical.

 

By the way to detach an object from the Maser page layout in inDesign Command+Shift + click on the area where the object is located and that objects will be detached from the Master and placed on the page you are in. Simple and intuitive as far as I am concerned. QuarkXPress pollutes the pages with objects from the Master Pages and is very messy.

It is up to you. Nobody blame you about that. Every one has it's own approach. But, you missed the main idea which is:

 

They "must" include "Send to behind Master Pages Objects" in the Arrange menu if they accept ID's approach.
