Question

Reverting moved objects on Parents based on Parents?

Hi everyone,

I'm probably forgetting something here, but I have game cards with a Parent set up with text frames (linked) and 5 Parents based on that parent without the text boxes.


I've added flowing text to the deck. When I adjust the position of the text frames on the Parent, the others moved.

 

However, after some editing, I adjusted a text frame on the Parent, and the frame stayed in place on the other document pages. The frames seemed to adjust properly on the other 5 Parent pages.

I thought removing local overrides might help, but it doesn't update anything.

Any suggestions / guidance? 

thanks!

Work with object. styles which include size and position. You can with reapplying the style restore the position.

That's interesting! I've used object styles, but never for position. I'll check it out.
