Anyone know how to overide a master page item. Here some sample code I

they were not master page items(like after the page is detached). For

like
(rectangle 13) but I cannot seem to do it that way when they are still
linked to the master page. Rectangle 13 is not rectangle 13 when it is
still
part of the master page. Why adobe didn't use the same item order on
both
master page and page is beyond me.
They did, actually. I suspect what's confusing you, in part, is that
the act of detaching changes the order of items, because detached items
are always brought to the front of their layer.
What I would like to do is this but it does not work. I get an error
"can't
get rectangle 13"
tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
override rectangle 13 of master page items of page 1 destination
page
page 1
end tell
end tell
"master page items" is a property, so that can't work. I think what
you're after is this:
tell application "InDesign CS"
tell document 1
set theMaster to applied master of page 1
override rectangle 13 of page 2 of theMaster destination page page 1
end tell
end tell
