Select objects on multiple pages

[sPretzel]

Is it possible to select (or delete) several objects on multiple pages or spreads at once in InDesign? And I would like to do this via the UI. I can only select objects on a given spread at most.

This thread for CS3 indicates that it is not possible: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/selecting-text-frames-on-multiple-pages/m-p/1126364?page=1#M...

My question is for CS4.

Thanks.

Same in nowadays. There is no way through interface.

Do you need to move all the objects? Here you go - https://creativepro.com/move-every-object-on-every-page-toward-or-away-from-spine/

Hi George. Thanks. No, I just wanted to delete them all. It's a basic feature, one would think. It's possible in Illustrator.

Wow! That's all I can say, wow.

In a 4-page InDesign file you cannot select objects on all four pages?

Every once in a while I need a page layout program, but seems that InDesign makes simple things tremndously difficult or impossible.

It looks like "Wow - I don't know principles of the soft that I try to use it, but can blame his creators."

A document setup with Facing Pages turned off can have spreads of up to 10 pages which can be arranged in any way with the Pages tool—in that case the pages’s objects can be selected:

This is not "full" feature and neeeds to rearrange pages. However - thanks.
