    Unable to delete links: "XML structure element, not in layout"

    mattaca Community Member

      Hello all,

       

      I'm having an issue in InDesign where I'm unable to delete links appearing in multiple files that have even made their way into one of our templates. They do not list a page number where the object appears and clicking on the "< >" does nothing.

       

      A cursory search of the InDesign forum yielded two results, both of which were answered by having the OP go into the document structure and delete stories from the Root (see below). In my document, however, there is NOTHING listed under Root in the structure. Where are these files and how do I get rid of them?

       

      I'd really like to eliminate this problem before it spreads further. Any help?

       

      Matthew
