Moving the Master Page "in front" of all Graphics?

How do I designate that the Master page floats above ALL graphics? All other graphics should be below!

    Create a new layer and place all the elements on your master page in the topmost layer. Put everything else on the layer(s) below.

    F7 brings up the layers panel.

    Thanks, Steve. I wasn't sure if we had a way to do that, if we were not the OP.

      You can contol things very precisely using layers. Master objects are always behind any objects drawn or placed on the document page, ON THE SAME LAYER, but the layer stacking can bring bing some master items in front of live-page items and leave them behind other.

        I don't understand. Could you say more? Do you mean you need to override master page items on the live document pages, and then move those to a layer above other graphic elements?

        Absolutely not!

        Add one or more layers on top of all layers and reserve them for objects on the master pages.

        Go to your master spread and drag all objects to the added layers.
