    Hi there,
    I’m sure this is a silly rookie question, but here is the dilemma:

    I have created a logo design in InDesign of three intersecting letters by manipulating three separate text frames on top of each other. I would now like to move the logo to a different spot on the page without breaking up the specific configuration – is there a way to do this? Obviously, threading/connecting the boxes does not do the trick as I DON’T want the text (letters) to flow as solid text but rather would like to have them remain in the same position which includes both overlaps and different page location levels (i.e. Not in the same grid)…

    Any help would be tremedouly appreciated.
    THANK YOU!

    If I’ve read your question correctly it’s easy. Using the normal arrow, hold down the shift key then select each box in turn. You should be able to move all three boxes without changing their positioning.

    Hope that helps.

    Not sure what the problem is.
    Group the three text boxes and then move them where ever you want. You may need to set Ignore Text Wrap if you are using this in the layout.
    Or Create Outlines and you will have three vector graphics to work with, again you can group these so they move a one.

    Once grouped you can Move them to Front so they sit on top of everything else.
    Or even create a new layer at the top of the stack and then place the logo on to this new layer.

    I find it better to create logo in Illustrator and then place them in to the layer.

    As Graham said, grouping the objects is perhaps the best first step: Choose Group from the Object menu.
