Changing text box size for complete document

I am editing a book and it is almost complete with textboxes exactly matching the page margins. I have set page numbers and headers in the parent page and that is fine. However I now see that the top of the text frame is a bit too close to the page number/headers. So I want to lower the top of the frame a bit. But it is a 200 page book and I don't want to have to do this on every page. Is there a way of selecting all the text frames so I can do this for the entire document? I have spent some time researching Google/YouTube but I have yet to find a solution.

  1. Select parent pages,
  2. Go to the Page menu (NOT the page panel) > margins and columns
  3.  Modify the margins as you wisk
  4. Tick the “Adjust layout” checkbox

Thanks for your response. I cannot however find the margins and columns panel. Here is a screenshot of what I am looking at in the Parent menu but that clearly is not right. Ah sorry, I found it in the Layout menu - and that all worked so many many thanks!

My mistake: in the French version, the Layout menu is called "Page".
