Increase master page size, keep existing content centered?

I have created a fairly large and complex document and now learned that I’ll have to increase the master page size by 3 mm on each side. Tests have shown that this will move / offset all placed objects, so I’ll have to reposition (center) them. The most efficient approach I can think of is group all objects on each page and then reposition that group at 3 mm.

 

Can someone think of a better approach?

 

Thank you.

Hi @PlainMartin , have you tried using the page tool with the Transform panel’s Reference Point set to Centered? That should keep all of the page items centered:

Rob, thank you so much! I have admit that in 15 years of working with InDesign, I have never used the page tool, but this is exactly the solution I was looking for. It works perfectly. You have saved me hours of dumb repetitive work. Much appreciated!
