Changing the margins/text box size on the master pages.

When I change the margins/text box size on the master pages, the entire document does not change, only the margins change. I have tried, I think, everything, and I cannot get the ttext boxes on 215 pages of my document to change. I'm hoping I don't have to change each text box on each page individually.

Thanks.

Maybe all those 215 pix are on a locked layer or are individually locked?

Could you post a screenshot of your Pages Panel so that we can confirm that the appropriate Master (Parent) Pages are applied to your document pages? Did you at any time use the option under the Pages Panel pull-down menu to Override all master (parent) page items?

You can try @rob day's script.

Or if you can you share your document on priv - click on my name and send me a message - I can process your file for you any way you want.

Try File > Adjust Layout

If your textframes were touching the original margins, they will adjust to the new margins settings. All 215 at once.

Mike, thanks and I have tried that, and it does not work. I have also tried changing text frame options under Object both while highlighting all frames, and I've tried it directly on the Master pages. Nothing seems to work.
