Layout/Master page question

Hello All,

While creating a layout or master page in Quark you can create an image file and then place an image in it in each of the document pages. This allows you to have a consistent location throughout the entire document, and even more importantly, it saves tons of time b/c you only need to create the image box once in the master page.

I tried to do the same thing in inDesign, but it doesn't seem to allow me to select the box from the different pages of the document. Does this feature exist in inDesign? If so, how can I access it?

Thanks,
