‘Lock to page’ and ‘unlock’
With j2e, any object can be locked to the page. Locking to the page is useful with a complex page, where you want some items to not keep getting selected.
To lock an object to the page, select the object, and then tick the ‘lock to page’ box in the tools. Click somewhere else, and you will find that you can no longer select the object.
If something is locked to the page, but you do want to edit it, then you must override the locking. To do this, tick the ‘unlock’ box in the tools.
Now, all locked items will appear unlocked, and you can select and edit every item on the page. When you have finished editing these 'locked' items, just untick the ‘unlock’ box, to remove the override.
To recap
An object can be locked, or not. This is the tick box 'lock to page'.
The document can obey locking, or not. This is the tick box, 'unlock'.
When the document is 'unlocked', then everything can be selected, even if it is 'locked to the page'.
