ok #1
where has my title block gone? when i look at layout book or publisher sets views the title block is not visible, it used to be there. the master is still there. and it is there in the PDF when i print it. so what have i done?
#2
i am trying to place external drawing from the external content drop down and the files don't show up in the ref project. i opened up the ref project and modified some drawings and saved them. if i open the ref project the drawings i modified are there and editable, but they don't show up in the drawing list when i try to place external content. all the other drawings are there, just not the ones i modified.

#1 - Layer of title block turned off? Probably best to have it on "ArchiCAD" layer so you CAN'T turn it off.
#2 - Is external drawing being embedded rather than referenced?

I have sometimes had the title block disappear when zooming close. Try to zoom further out and see if it appears.
