Setting Up a Document and Working with Pages - Adobe InDesign CC - page 87

2. Hold down Shift+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac OS), and then click
within the graphics frame. The frame is now selected, and you have overridden its
status as a master item. Press Backspace or Delete to delete the frame.
Tip
To override multiple master page items, hold down Shift+Ctrl (Windows)
or Shift+Command (Mac OS) and with the Selection tool, drag a marquee
around the objects you want to override.
3. Use the same method to delete the placeholder graphics frame on the right page, as
well as the placeholder text frame on the left and right pages.
4. Choose File > Save.
Modifying a parent master
To complete your work laying out the newsletter's master pages, you'll add several header
elements to the top of the A-3-column Layout master and another footer element to the
right page. Then you'll view the B-2-column Layout master and see how the new objects
are automatically added to that master page spread.
Note
You'll learn more about creating and modifying text frames, graphics
frames, and other kinds of objects in Lesson 4 , “ Working with Objects . ”
Rather than manually laying out the additional header and footer frames, you'll import a
snippet . A snippet is a file that contains InDesign objects, including their location relative
to one another on a page or spread, and can be imported into a layout with the Place com-
mand (File menu) the same way you import graphic files. InDesign lets you export selected
objects as a snippet file and place snippets into documents. (You'll use snippets again later
in this lesson, and you'll learn more about snippets in Lesson 10 , “ Importing and Modify-
ing Graphics . ”)
1. Double-click the name of the A-3-column Layout master in the Pages panel to dis-
play the spread.
2. Choose File > Place. Open the Links folder in the Lesson03 folder, located inside
the Lessons folder within the InDesign CIB folder. Click the file named Snip-
pet1.idms, and then click Open.
