Override Master pages Items in InDesign

[joannier98449727]

Bonjour à tous,

Il y a une question qui me taraude depuis longtemps : Comment modifier un élément du gabarit sans pour autant le désolidariser du gabarit ?

Exemple : Dans mon gabarit, je place un bloc image. J'aimerais évidemment le remplir dans ma page, mais il est verrouillé (car il fait partie du gabarit).

Je le déverrouille donc et importe mon image dans le bloc image.

Problème : Si je retourne dans mon gabarit et décide de réduire la zone image de moitié, la modification ne sera pas effective sur mes pages car les blocs images ont été libérés.

Cela m'embête pour plein d'autres manipulation (changer un texte mais laisser sa position déterminée par le gabarit par exemple).

Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer ?

Merci d'avance

Hi Joannie,

Thanks for reaching out. I am afraid I did not understand your query. Are you trying to place a JPG image in InDesign and then try to edit it?

You can not edit placed in InDesign, please refer to this help article for more details: How to place, import, and insert images to InDesign

You can edit images with their native applications like Photoshop with Edit Original or Edit With options.

Let us know if this helps. If not, please share a few more details like:

• OS (Exact version of Windows / MAC)
• Version of InDesign
• The exact workflow you are following (a small video would be a great help).

Regards,

Srishti

Hi,

Thank you for your reply and for your time, but it wasn't my question.

I have found the solution which consists in overriding elements from master pages (with ctrl + shift + click) instead of disassociating them.

By doing it this way, elements such as images blocks remain bound to the master pages but I still can edit the content.

That's what I was looking for.
