If you’re editing pages which use master pages, master page objects will contribute to your page design. For example (see below), a left-hand “body text” page might use the left-side component of one master page ( A), while a right-hand page could use the right side of a different master page ( B). If you’re using multi-page regular/booklet publications, you can assign different master pages to the left and right publication pages (also called spreads) if necessary-master pages are assigned per page and not per spread. In the Layers tab, right-click any layer and choose Return to ‘ x of y‘, where x is the last visited page and y is the total number of pages. The master page assigned to the master layer is displayed.Īn easy method for navigating from the selected master page to a last visited page is the Return to feature. Right-click a master layer and choose Go To Master Page. To jump to a master page from the standard page:ĭouble-click on a Master Layer entry in the Layers tab. You can also modify layer properties as for standard layers.įor some designs, you can move the new master page’s Master Layer to the top of the stack-its objects will be shown in front of all other objects. (Optional) Enter a different name for your layer. įrom the dialog’s drop-down menu, select the additional master page to be assigned.
Right-click in the tab and select Add Master layer…. On the Layers tab, select Add Master Layer. To assign multiple master pages to a page:

You can insert master layers from other master pages to assign additional master pages to your page.įor an introduction to the concept of layers, see Working with layers.Īn additional master page needs to be created first. Just like a regular page, the master page can have its own set of layers associated with it, completely unique from the regular page! From the Layers tab, you’ll see a master layer (e.g., Master Layer 1 ) as a separate entry. In the Pages tab, right-click in the Pages window and select Remove Master Pages. To disconnect a previously assigned master page(s): In the Pages tab, right-click the master page and choose an option from the Apply to submenu. To assign a master page to odd, even, or all pages: The master page is represented as a letter on the Page, e.g. Select the page and the master page to be assigned to it.Ĭlick Show Master Page Identifiers to indicate the master pages used on the currently selected page(s).

You’ll need to create an additional master page first. It’s even possible to assign multiple master pages per page. However, if you’re using multiple master pages you can assign a different master page to a standard page, all, odd or even pages. If you’re only using one master page it is assigned to any newly created page by default.
Using the Pages tab or Page Manager, you can quickly add or delete master pages for example, you could set up different master pages for “title” or “chapter divider” pages. If you’re starting with a design template you may encounter one or more master pages incorporated with the design. Facing pages and multiple master pages prove valuable with longer, more complex publications. Master pages are available in every publication, but in a simple publication you may not need to use any master pages-or you may need only one master page. Of course, each individual page can have its own “foreground” elements. By placing a design element on a master page and then assigning several pages to use that master page, you ensure that all the pages incorporate that element. The key concept here is that a particular master page is typically shared by multiple pages, as illustrated below. Master pages provide a flexible way to store background elements that you’d like to appear on more than one page-for example a logo, background, header/footer, or border design.
