      Hey all. I’m trying to shift the margins of a 750 page book an eighth of an inch outward. After I enable layout adjustment, adjust the margins of the master pages, the text blocks are not moving with the adjusted margins. For the most part, the text blocks are snapped to the margins on the page. Some of them are dragged down a hair on the bottom to allow for an extra line on those pages, but most of them are snapped. If there are images on the page, those appear to move with the changed margins, but not the pages that are just type. Any ideas on how to fix this? I really don’t want to adjust each page individually. Thanks!

      When you change the size or position of the PRIMARY TEXT FRAME you unlink it from the master page to an extent.
      One thing that unlinks is the resizing of text boxes on the master page no longer affect the document pages.
      Highlight the pages where you have edited the size of text boxes and reapply the master page this should rest the link and make the master page control the layout again.

      Best to stick the margins and primary text flow box size and not change them on individual pages or spreads.

      That is not a wery good thing to do … change the margins after you set op so many pages.

      A work around coud be to place a rectangel with text wrap, with no fill or stroke on the master page, and let that move the text inside the misplaced tekstboxes outward. Otherwise – it’s a manual job!

      Hi Bryan,

      What you simply want is just move outward on odd/even pages the contents of each page! … an eighth of inch!

      Right!? ;-)
