How do you select a master page item on a document page?

• A. Double-click the Master Page
• B. Drag from the Pages panel
• C. Shift + Cmd and Click object
• D. Select Content Button

Answer: (C)

Master pages feed elements onto document pages, and when you want to work with one of those elements as it appears on a specific page, you need a targeted selection method. Holding Shift and clicking the item with the Selection tool on the document page tells InDesign to select the master-page item that’s visible there. This lets you move, resize, or edit that item on that page without jumping to the master page view. On Windows, the equivalent is Shift + Ctrl + Click. The other options don’t target the on-page master item in the same way: double-clicking opens the master page for editing, dragging from the Pages panel isn’t about selecting the item, and there isn’t a standard “Select Content” button for this action.
