Sorry to report, I can't here.

I do that, that is click outside the main frame.

Even using Alt drag it doesn't work. I'll explain more...
Obviously all the graphics are in frames, and if I have text in text
frames, then Selecting All does indeed select both text and graphics which
can be Alt dragged or Copy/Pasted.
However, the text in frames is just a few bits and bobs that caption the
graphics, the bulk of the text (like a book) is just in the default page
frame, and that doesn't get picked up unless it's hilighted as a separate
element.
Thus I cannot copy. move, whatever everything on a page in one go.
Unless you know a way.
