Hi all,

I am trying to create a product catalogue using InDesign CS2. I am on Windows, and using JavaScript. I have created some master pages as a template. Previously, when using the UI, I have copied the text frames from my master pages and used paste-in-place to ensure that my text and images are in the same place on every page. Recently, I have been using "Override all master page items" to override the items on the layers I need to work on (instead of using copy and paste). My problem is that even with the layers I do not want to override locked, my code, which looks like this:

np = doc.pages.add();

//apply A-Master
np.appliedMaster = doc.masterSpreads.item("A-Master");

//insert the frames of the page
var items = np.masterPageItems;
for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { 	items[i].override(np); }

overrides the objects on locked layers as well.

How do I only override the items on certain layers? Or should I recreate the frames I need, rather than taking them from the master pages?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
