    I am having my first shot at Indesign now, making a magazine in school. Though I am having a small problem with master pages.

    I have setup the A-Master to some basic design, a bar on the top on the left and right & side. Then some text. But if I apply the right A-Master to a right page, which is facing another page, one of the objects on the left A-Master appears on the left page (the one facing the page I want to apply master to). I have tried applying None to the left page, and that makes all the text go away, but the bar (which is a rectangle) is still there, it won't go away :(

    I figured I could probably override and just delete it, but I want it proper done, or at least an explanation :)

    Either you are applying the master page to the left-hand page, too (for example, when you click on a page in the Pages panel, perhaps you're actually selecting both left and right pages of the spread), or the object in question is partially touching the right-hand page on the master page.

    Sweet!

    You were right, the object on the left page “touched” the right page. But I think it is weird. If I move that object and then move it to the right edge of the left page so it attaches to the mid-grid, and then places it, it counts as if it was touching the other page. Weird. Anyway, I just zoomed in full and moved it as little as possible away from the edge and now it works :) Thanks!

    New problem:

    I put some glow on this object, and now I need to have it very far away for the glow to not touch the other page :(

    There must be a way to just tell it to cut the effects or something when they are outside the page o.O

    InDesign really doesn't like objects that spill over to the adjacent page. Just this month, we fell into this trap when we removed two pages from an otherwise ready-for-press document, and when it was printed we noticed ID had put all of the pages-spanning on top of everything else. That needed reprinting … and it was a full colour job …

    So now I always take care to cut off images at the binding page side. It's a bother, but better safe than (again) sorry.

    But your outer glow problem is something else. In your case you could try this: draw an empty rectangle on top of the page (taking care to align it exactly on the binding edge); cut your glowing image; select the empty rectangle and use “Paste Into”. If I'm correct, this will neatly clip off the glowing border.
