Can not unlock a Master Page text boxes

Hello

First think first: Adobe InDesign CC for MAC, OS X 10.9.1.

I received a file from a client with a lot of master pages. Now, what intrigues me is that at point, the designer uses a master page (title on bottom - Y) to add text on the footer, which foot is then used on the rest of the master pages. Each master page contains three layers: text, Images, frames blue boxes.

Then he created another master page (Z - Footers_Page #).

Now, the delicate issue.

There, initially, locked down titles that have been on the layer of text boxes. I unlock them.

Then, I went on my page document to sselect this footer text and put a little smaller, but only on this page, not on every page of the document. Usually, this is done by clicking on the desired text block while pressing command + shift. It did not work.

I checked the master pages and noticed that the page that I tried to change used the Z Master. So, I thought that the master might have locked up too substantive text. So I went to this basic form and I noticed that the text boxes containing footers is not locked but has not yet shown on any of these three layers.

I tried the command + shift + click on the boxing of text containing the phrase ending by... Central Virginia, to make it editable. No question. They are not shown in the text layer boxes.

The only text boxes, I can change are the page numbers.

However, when I do the layer of invisible text boxes, all the footers disappear, including those I can't edit at all.

I started, so I was wondering. What is going on? Commands like show all on the spread or unlock everything on spreads are gray. So, how do I change this line on a single page.

There is a little professional manner, but I preffer to learn before doing the amateur work.

Thank you.

Select master z doing Ctrl A to select all the items on the master. On the flyout menu go to Master Pages/Allow Master item overrides on selection.

  • My client needs to change the text that appears on every page of his site, but in the edition browser is not make changes to the master page text. Is there a way for him to do? A special widget or something?

    He wants a place on the header of every page of his Web site where he can post his latest information in real time every day. If he had his way, it would look like a strip of tickets transiting via the header of each page. I was going to include it in the design of the master page header, so all that he would have to do is update the copy on the master and it would update the header of each page. But in the Assembly browser does not work on master pages.

    Is there a way to do this? Even if it's an a widget that has been done by another Member of the community of Muse?

    Thank you.

    By BC you can change the template or page that would change the display, but if the new site is updated to Muse then he would cancel the change.

  • Master page text frame does not appear on the pages of the child of the master

    Why a block of text on my A-master (indicated under control) does not control the size of the blocks of text on the pages of the children of this master? Is a likely answer that I placed the text on the pages of the child until I entered the text block on the A-master. But even at this stage, when I create a new A-master, there is no block of text at all, in order to recreate and redo the problematic child pages appear not to be a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    When you click on the Plus sign next to a master page to create another master page, it does not inherit the master page objects. It simply creates an empty template. If you want the new master page to inherit the objects, then right-click on the desired master page and choose 'duplicate page.

    As child pages are concerned, Yes, they should inherit all objects and properties of the master page. It's really weird if his past is not for you. What happens when you right click on the page child and apply desired master for this menu?

    Kind regards

  • I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

    I consider myself fairly well with InDesign. But now, I'm quite a. I just spent two hours designing a newsletter before and inside the cover. I filled two text boxes with the text that I stole from a Word file. But now, I can't do anything in the text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing does highlight. The framework is not locked. I don't know what to do. I am little freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

    Look for the locked layers

  • If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

    If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

    Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

    Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

    Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

    The possible values for this preference are as follows:

    -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

    There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

    Any difference?

    Hello

    If you have not already done so, it could be that you want to configure your watch with these settings:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - it lights up.

    -On your iPhone, in the application of Eve, go to: Watch My > password > code turn on (choose a password Simple or more complex).

    -Also on the password settings screen, select Unlock with iPhone.

    After putting on your wrist, your watch don't unlock then after whatever you do first: unlock your watch manually (by entering the access code) or unlock your iPhone.

    Then, it will remain unlocked (including when the screen is idle) until you remove it from your wrist. When you remove your watch, it locks automatically.

  • How to set up an editable text box that can be controlled by master pages

    I am designing a book. I created a master page to the first page of each chapter. I also need the text box content to be in a different size. So I tried including a blank text box in the master. That's when I met a problem - to place text, I have to manually replace the text box on the first page (Page of chapter) making a page element... the following pages have no problem however, as the son of text in the main text boxes. Now when I want to change the size or formatting of this text box, I can no longer use the master and have to manually apply to each chapter of this.

    Is there a better way to do it. I'm on a deadline, a quick response would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    After that you override the master element on the page, it retains aspects on the page of the document that you do not change. So, if you change the size or geometry of the image on the page of the document, change the master page will have no effect. If all you have to do is out of the text frame to fill it with the type, you can still control its size and position through the frame of the master page. If you do need to change size every time you release and add text, I am not aware so as to always be driven from the master page.

  • Final result does not match the Master Page

    I'm so frustrated with Muse right now I could scream. I'm creating a simple landing page, a single page, where what little information it is (a graphic background, logo and contact information) is the master. I want to just publish a page that is exactly like the master, but this does not seem possible with Muse. Why is this? What Miss me? If you open the master page and go where the text breaks for mobile display, there is a blue graph that I placed at the bottom to fill in the blanks. Has gone in the final result and the page is excessive in length, I can't change in any way. The master is set to vertical 956px, but the last page is at 1080. There is nothing hidden anywhere on the page or master.

    I would be very grateful for any help anyone could give me, thanks in advance.

    Hi David,

    Thanks a lot for your answer. However, after consideration and discussion with my client, I think I'll try to rebuild the page from scratch, since it's so simple, see how it works first. I'll get in touch if I'm still having the same problem.

    Kind regards

  • Can not create hyperlink from selected text

    In Acrobat 10 I select text on a title page to make a link to another page in my pdf document. When I right click on the text selected, I have no choice to create a link. When I use the link tool I try to draw a rectangle around the text, but it will leave only to create an area on a grid (which is off of my text).  I have created links of free-form in the past but can not understand why Acrobat now requires a grid.

    After checking all the preferences, I discovered him snap to grid has been activated (I keep that off in all programs). Somehow he lit and link boxes were cutting to what looks like a grid of 1/4 ".
