Text frames and master page

Question

Text frames for some reason are unlinked to my master page. When I adjust the master page text frame nothing changes on the page text franes.

I forgot to centre the text frame on the master page, now all the text frames on every page are slighlty off centre.

I can centre it with the following:

Select the object style: general option: Fixed width, set the width to 24p

Then window object and layout, align centre.

Problem is I need to do this for over 100 pages.

Is there a way to centre all the text frames with a given object style?

(not vertical justification) horizontally to the margins of the respective page or a way to relink them to the master page text frame and then centre the text box on master page?
