Is there a way to have text blocks on master pages, show up on publication
pages without having to re-draw a text block?

Text will only write to text boxes. If the text box outlines are the problem you
can turn them off. View, boundaries and guides.

I understand that, thank you. What I need to know is:
• if I create a master page and the master page includes a text block, is
there a way to have that text block show up on the publication page?
• Or, is everything on the master page not editable on the publication page?
• Is there a way to make it editable without having to redraw a text block
on the publication page?

No.

Yes.

No.

The whole point of the Master Page is to create a background that
appears behind the main publication page and is common (with the
exception of page numbers) to all pages in a group.

Master pages are not editable when viewing publication pages.

If a master page is applied to a page, then its objects will show up on the
page.

You can edit a master page by clicking Master Page from the View menu, but
any changes will show up on all pages the master page is applied to.

When I have a text box or other shape that I want on many pages (perhaps
with small changes from page to page), I put a copy of the text box or shape
into the gray "scratch" area so that it is available as I move from page to
page.
