frozen text

[dantea58501880]

Can someone kindly offer help on frozen text?

[JonathanArias]

and what does froze text means?

we can only go with what you tells us. if you want help you will need to elaborate

Are you saying that you can't select the text?

Have you tried going to the Object menu > Unlock All on Spread

[Jeff Witchel, ACI]

Or maybe the text frame is on a Master Page. All objects from a Master are locked on local pages. Look at Master Pages at the top of your Pages panel to see if the text is part of a Master Page.

Hi @dantea58501880:

Jeff gave you two things to check:

• Object > Unlock All on Spread if the text frame is locked
• Check to see if the text frame is on a master page but you are on a body page—if it is, you can either edit it on the master page or you can Ctrl+Sh+click/Cmd+Sh+click to override it on a body page

I'll add two more:

• Check to see if the text frame is on a locked layer (Window > Layers)
• Ctrl/Cmd+click a few times on the frame to see if it is underneath another frame.

Could also possibly be that the text is converted to outlines...
