Reply To: Stop text on pages moving!!!

Thanks for your answer Dwayne but your solution makes the pages behave in the same way as dropping the master on the page.

I have actually now found an easy solution, although it does not answer why the problem exists with certain InDesign files. The way round it is to select the page in the pages panel and then choose in the fly-out menu “Detach All Objects from Master”. Once you have done that you can then drop the Master page over (or option click as Dwayne notes) and the objects and text on the pages do not move.

Thanks everyone for your input.
