: InDesign: master page item can't be removed after overriding it I seem to have a strange problem. In InDesign, in the master page (right side / odd numbered pages) I have a simple graphic,

@Mendez620

If your master page item is touching the center/gutter line, then it will think that this item is for the left page as well, and so, it will keep the item, even when you Shift+Click to unlock it from the master items.

Solution: Just leave a very slight amount of space (1/32") from the center/gutter line.

When InDesign is behaving erratically, deleting preferences (also
referred to as “trashing preferences” or “removing preferences”) often
solves the problem.

It’s a good idea to make a backup copy of the preference files called
InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData. Instead of removing your
preferences, you can copy these backup files over the problematic
corrupt preference files and not lose any customizations.



Do one of the following:


(Windows) Start InDesign, and then press
Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference
files.
(Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start
InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
