Rob--

I'm not sure I follow you. To override a master page item, hold down Command-Shift (Mac OS) or Ctrl-Shift (Windows) and click the item. What's not a user decision about that?

In QuarkXPress, I find that people often override master page items without meaning to, which often leads to trouble. I think the added protection of having to hold down a modifier key combination to unlock the master item is a good thing.

The problem is that InDesign scripting has a bug--not that something is wrong with ID's approach to master page items. We'll fix it.

In any case, moving the items on the master pages and then moving page items on document pages will not move the objects twice--provided you don't do anything with the master page items collection on the document page.

Thanks,

Ole
