- As I mentioned in the last movie,…InDesign protect Master Page items…when you're on a document page.…You can't move them, you can't even select them.…Now I've opened this document from my Exercise Files folder.…It's the version B of my garden book document,…and it starts up where we left off in the last movie,…so you can see that I already have running footers…or running headers or whatever you want to call these.…I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on one of them…by holding down Command, spacebar on the Mac…or Control, spacebar on Windows,…and that lets me drag a marquis around this area,…and then when I let go it zooms in on it.…
Now you might notice something interesting…about this text frame.…It has a dotted line for a frame edge.…Those dotted frame edges…indicate that this is a Master Page item.…And if I try and click on this with the Selection tool,…nothing happens.…I can't edit it, I can't move it, nothing.…But I thought InDesign was all about…letting me express my creativity.…What if I want to change it?…
