Hello Manan, I am using Adobe InDesign. Attached is a screenshot of my problem.

So are you talking about these two black lines? Can you check if these are placed on a locked layer or these objects are locked themselves. Post a screenshot of your link panel with the layer expanded that might give a clue. In the meanwhile i am moving this post to InDesign forum for other experts to give us more ideas

If you can then share your document as well, upload it to a service like Dropbox and then paste the public URL here. Someone can quickly have a look and give you the solution

I'm a beginner to all of this so I'm not exactly sure how to do some things. Here I think are some screenshots you requested for

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Ok so the layer is not locked, now click on the > sign to the left of Layer 1. It should open up and show all the elements on this layer. If any of these items has a lock icon shown against it that means its locked.

Hello Manan,

After playing around on the layers and clicking the drop down at layer 1 I found that the lines were locked. Thank you so much for your help. Issue is solved.

Check if they are locked, or on a locked layer, or on a master page.

How can I check if they are locked?

Thank you for your help! It turns out they were locked.
