Change the footer in a template (InDesign)

[NATE1963]

Hi - I've used an InDesign template (Annual Report) and am trying to change the footer on the master page though I can't select it. Any ideas how to change this? I'm going round in circles. Thanks

First, check ifyou are on the master page, not on a current page. Secondly, check if the footer is not on a locked layer.

Thanks for reply

I am on the master page - how do I check whether it is locked and how do i unlock it? 

many thanks

Look if there is no padlock icon on the layer

or on the frame itself
