I try to do a more complex design : 

I have created two frames that I want to join :

 

And when I try to move with the mouse the bottom frame towards the other, I have this design :

 

 

But I don't know how to remove the blue lines between the two frames (the lines at the junction of the two frames) ?

I don't understand: if you join the 2 frames and remove “the blue lines between the two frames (the lines at the junction of the two frames)”, you'll get a rectangle? What is the final result you want?

I try the most possible to write in english, to improve my english learning.

I have tried to do another more simple design in the parent page : a text block inside a rectangle. And I have grouped the text block and the rectangle in order to have a single bloc.

And I have found the way in order to have the text surrounding this object when I am by example on "page 2" : I have selected the object in the parent page and set "text wrapping" to 5 mm around this object.

 

And here is the result on page 2 :

On this page 2, I don't understand why around the object (created in parent page), I have not the same space around the object (I should have 5 mm all around the object) ?

This looks like a case where the bottom of the frame you are wrapping around does not sychronize with the leading applied to the text and the added text wrap amount, so you wind up skipping an extra line. Adjusting the height of that frame (or reducing the text wrap on the bottom) should correct it. You may have to do both to actually get 5mm all around.

About this design I create in the parent page : I have applied this design to left pages of my document.

On page "2", it is OK (I have this design created on parent page), but I would like that automatically the text on page 2 will not begin inside this design but around this design. How to set it inside parent page (design locked in parent page) ?

You need to set this up as a "facing pages" document with a 2-page Parent Page and put the tabs in the correct postions on both pages.

I have a parent page with 3 pages.

I have made a design inside parent page , but now if I put some text inside page 2 by example, the text in page 2 goes inside the parent page design : how to have this text automatically surrounding the parent page design in page 2 ?

Create the shapes/text frames on a parent/master page.

Create based on parent/master pages for each tab.

Cntl-Shift or Cmd-Shift click on the tabs you do not want on a given parent/master and delete them.

Make any changes to the original parent/master.
