ID CS2: Master Page Problem

[Sam_Mustafa@adobeforums.com]

I'm working with facing pages and I have a single set of Master Pages. I can't get my document pages to recognize the Text Wrap settings I choose for graphic objects on the Master Pages. I've gone through all the online help, and every topic in the Peachpit Press manual, and there seems to be no reason, or nothing to explain it.

Furthermore, when I create text frames on the Master Pages, they don't appear on the document pages.

What am I doing wrong?

Live pages don't recognize text wrap on masters.

Well, that would explain why I'm pulling my hair out....

Okay, so how can I set up a graphic object on a Master Page that will appear on every document page (it holds my automatic page number), but around which the text will wrap on the document pages?

Surely there is a way to do this, without having to format each document page individually?

You could override each folio's text frame (Shift-Command-click it) on each document page and then apply a text wrap to it (or apply an Object Style containing your text wrap setting to it).

But if I were doing the job, I'd probably just change the shape of the text frames on the master pages so the frame "wraps around" the folios' text frames. A few extra corner points and a little work with the Direct Selection tool would do the trick in a minute or two.
