O.k I have a problem that I can't solve for many hours now.
I'm creating a master page with the text where I want it to be the pics were I want them to be etc.
When I create a new page and it uses the master page I created the layout seems o.k.
But when I try to choose the text box or the picture box to put what I want in them I can't select them!!! Why is that??? All I get is a bounding box that I can't select.
Can you please explain me why this is happening and how to solve this??
Thank you very much.

To change an item from a master page on your new page, command+shift as you click on the item you wish to change. This will allow you to change the item only on the current page.

To find out more about overriding master page items (that's what Adobe calls what you want to do) check the manual or help system under master pages.

Thanks to your question, I've learned a couple of new things about master pages.
