One of the unpublicized features of the new Adobe InDesign CS is its increased flexibility for handling master page objects. The new functionality isn’t extensive, but it does allow you to override master items much more easily. So today we’ll take a brief look at this simple technique and also some other tips for working with and editing master page items.
