InDesign CS2 (or CS3):

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to take a multi-page document and detach all of the master page items all at once on every single page rather than go to each page and Command+Shift with the arrow tool, selecting everything on the page, then going to the page palette and detaching? You can only select one item at a time and the stacking order gets all wacky.

This project is gonna kill me.

PD,

Select all the pages' icons in the pages palette, click the flyout triangle and select "Override Master Page items".

I grovel before you and kiss your feet. :D
Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
Stacking order is still wacky but I got that sorted too. The designer had detached some items and not others inconsistently throughout the doc.

Lucky for you, I had a similar project just last week, where I had to turn a facing pages project into single pages, and this was a key element to that. :)
