Can't select item in Pages

I've been working with a company that uses its own templates for any correspondence. But I have found that the template looks a bit different when I open it in Pages.
As you could guess by now, I am unable to click on one particular image or select it in any way, so it technically makes it stuck there. And the image has to be moved in order to look normal. I can send you an empty template if you wanna see it so you can help me out.

Thanks

Bojan,

One of more of these three suggestions may solve your problem of not being able to select and move the Object.

1. Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable

2. Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable

3. Start with the mouse pointer in the margin of your document, then hold down the Command Key and drag a selection box around your object.

Hope this does it for you.

Thanks for the feedback. Remember this trick also when you find page numbers from MS Word docs that can't be removed or edited. Sometimes objects are incorrectly translated into Pages.
