Understanding Master Pages<br />

A B C D E<br />

A. master<br />

B. Document page with master applied<br />

C. Changes <strong>to</strong> document page<br />

D. Update <strong>to</strong> master (orange frame)<br />

E. Document with changes and master<br />

update<br />

master pages; in <strong>InDesign</strong>, you use<br />

the Pages panel (Window > Pages).<br />

You can do a few things with<br />

<strong>InDesign</strong> master pages that you<br />

can’t do with <strong>Quark</strong>XPress, such as:<br />

• Base master pages on other master<br />

pages. For example, if you’re<br />

creating a publication that uses<br />

both a two-column layout and a<br />

three-column layout, and the layouts<br />

are identical except for the<br />

number of columns, you can base<br />

the three-column master on the<br />

two-column master. All changes<br />

you make <strong>to</strong> the “parent” master<br />

are au<strong>to</strong>matically applied <strong>to</strong> the<br />

“child” master.<br />

• Apply a master page <strong>to</strong> multiple<br />

document pages in one step.<br />

• Save a document page as a<br />

master page.<br />

• Select—and, optionally, delete—<br />

unused master pages.<br />

• Override master page settings<br />

or detach objects on document<br />

pages from their master pages.<br />

• Drag and drop master pages<br />

between documents.<br />

• Synchronize master pages across<br />

multiple documents or all documents<br />

in a book.<br />

Master objects on document pages<br />

behave differently in <strong>Quark</strong>XPress<br />

than in <strong>InDesign</strong>. In <strong>Quark</strong>XPress,<br />

you select master objects on document<br />

pages just as you select other<br />

(non-master) objects—by clicking<br />

them with the Item or Content<br />

<strong>to</strong>ol. In <strong>InDesign</strong>, master objects<br />

on document pages are protected<br />

so that a user cannot accidentally<br />

modify, move, or delete them. To<br />

override the protection and select<br />

a master object on a document<br />

page, select the Selection, Direct<br />

Selection, or Position <strong>to</strong>ol, and then<br />

press Shift+Command in Mac OS<br />

or Shift+Ctrl in Windows, and click<br />

the object. To prevent a master<br />

object from being selected on a<br />

document page, select the object<br />

on the master page, and then deselect<br />

Allow Master Item Overrides<br />

On Selection in the Pages panel<br />

menu. On document pages, the<br />

object is displayed without a frame<br />

edge. If you select Allow Master<br />

Item Overrides for an object on<br />

a master page, the object is displayed<br />

with a dotted line around<br />

its edge on document pages.<br />

If you modify a master object on<br />

a document page, for example,<br />

by changing its fill color, and you<br />

then modify the master object, all<br />

modifications you make <strong>to</strong> the master<br />

object except applying a new<br />

fill color are applied <strong>to</strong> the master<br />

object on the document page.<br />
