1. Reapply the master without losing information in text frames from the master

   > >This is complicated to describe, so I'm going to use a not-so-great example. In PowerPoint you can put "placeholders" on the master pages. If you make a change to the position of the placeholder and update the slide everything moves into the correct position.> >I'd like to be able to do something like that with text frames on the master in InDesign. The problem I'm having is that because I can't have two "primary text frames" on the master, I have to command-shift click to get the second text frame to be active. Once I do that, however, I can never reapply the master, because if I do, the text in the command-shift-clicked frame will disappear. The text in the primary text frame will not.> >Is this something you guys can fix? I understand the idea of primary text flow, so you can't necessarily link things automatically in the second frame - although maybe there could be a way of marking the frames so that they do flow properly. > >The issue is, I'm working on documents for the pharmaceutical industry and they need to run Important Safety Information thoughout the document. This frame would be at the bottom, while the other primary text frame would be at the top.> >

2. Find/Replace text (date) after using Convert Date to Text function

   > >I am trying to replace text in multiple stories throughout the document. Each story is formatted with text and tabs (not a table). The find/change uses the FIND/CHANGE>TEXT option. I am searching for "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". When I search, find, find/change, and change all, the results append the page number in triplicate in front of the leading date digit. For example, page 9 (attached) is "0909092 July 2025" and page 42 is "4242422 July 2025". When I copied the text to include in this report (see attached), only date date is captured in the clipboard (2 July 20v25).> >The reason I was doing this is I wanted to change the date to a output date Text Variable. I had hoped text variables were part of find change: the find is available in GREP, but not in the Change To options. > >So, just prior to producing the error above, I added the Output Date in the position I wanted. I could not copy the variable and use it in the Change To field, so I used the Covert Variable to Text that one instance of the output date. I copied the text '2 July 2025", and used the basic Find/Change>Text intending to change "28 May 2025" to change it to "2 July 2025". That's when ID appends the six digits that are three pairs of the page number. > >Everything works as planned if I duplicate the original document, and repeating the process leaving out the Convert to Text option.> >Adobe InDesign 20.0 | MacOS Ventura 13.5.2> >

11. Where is the link to online Files in Creative Cloud Desktop?

12. When Application Frame is Turned Off, News Windows Size Behind GUI/Tools
