Modifying on a single page placed from Master page


Recommended Posts

Hello,
In fact, my question is multiple:
1. How can I modify text frames on a specific page made out of an applied Master Page. Some crosses appear on a select text frame, but they can't be moved.
2. Why are selected frames, not enlightened within the Layers window? (Gives a hard time finding out what to select next.)
3. Is there any shortcut to select an object (layer) by clicking directly on a page generated by a Master page?
4. Is it normal not to be able to select and modify layer's name, in Layer window?
5. Are all these frequent or permanent issues when using Master Pages?
6. Does it need to create a specific Master page for each typographic variation?

Thanks for your attention.

"Publisher 1.7.0" is not specific enough. Please include the build number, the final 3 digits of the number. Example: Publisher 1.7.0.238 is the current beta version.

New version quits, as soon I touch the reopened file created with 1.7.0.227.
Guess I'll have to test from scratch... :/

Interesting stuff (I think):

I restarted a new test on the same scheme as before. And as I'm pretty lazy, I tried to reopen the famous file which made the new Pub version quit... and see there (!): with the new file left open, I even was able to copy-paste text frames with fx a.s.o. with ease and (apparently) no bugs!
I'm flabbergasted, but maybe it will help you to understand something about some glitches...

Another strange issue: invisible text... yet supposed to be black as all. (Maybe I have a look on the Master Page: could be a different preset by mistake...) 

No idea about that. However, I'd like to point out that those red dots seem to indicate that text has overflowed all of your Text Frames, even though they are linked. You might want to check on that, and resize them if needed.

Thanks, I'll have another closer look.
...And concernant the unlink of tex frames: it's OK I found the answer on YouTube !

OK! Maybe there were too many text frames linked at a time (about 75). I unlinked at the last "invisible text frame, and the text appeared normal. Relinking to the next ones made it all well.

 

EDIT
* The problem is: these are from the Master pages... and I still didn't find out how to make changes on pages depending on Master page...
