Multiple Overlay Frame Edit Problems

I have the following format for a report I inherited:

outer repeating frame
inner frame1
inner repeating frame
image
more frames and data fields
inner frame2
inner repeating frame
image
more frames and data fields
inner frame3
inner repeating frame
image
more frames and data fields
inner frame4
inner repeating frame
image
more frames and data fields

I need to be able to select any one of the inner frame[n] to view/edit. The last one ends up on the top when the report is loaded in the editor. How can I select one of the other inner repeating frames to edit?
 
I would start with spatial separation or those 4 frames.
Expand "outer repeating frame' 4 time downward, then using object navigator select everything within "inner frame1" (including the frame itself) and move it downward. Use mouse only to select objucts in objuct navigator, move using keyboard arrow keys. You may need to set Confince Mode to off while moving. This is a pretty tricky procedure, so make sure to backup the original file, also save your work often, but only after you made sure you made a correct step.
