Locking master page objects in normal view
Optionally, objects that have been inserted on a master page can be “locked” to
prevent them from being moved accidentally with the mouse when the document is
being edited in normal view.
To lock such objects, invoke the File > Properties command and switch to the
View property sheet. Check the Lock objects on master page option in the Locking
group box.
Once locked, master page objects can be neither moved nor resized when the
document is edited in normal view. They can be modified only in Master Page
view.
Note: This setting affects only the current document.
Dividing a document into chapters
By default, the page formatting options described in this chapter always apply to
the whole document. Thus, all pages will have the same header and footer, the
paper format will remain constant throughout the document, etc.
Chapters provide a way around this limitation. With the Insert > Break > Chapter
break command, you can divide a document into as many chapters as you wish.
This has the following effects on the page formatting of the document:
Paper format, orientation and margins can be set separately for each chapter.
Each chapter can have its own master page, and thus its own headers and
footers.
The page numbering can be reset (as needed) to any beginning value whatever
in each individual chapter.
If you check the Different left and right pages option in the chapter formatting
dialog, you can set up different headers, footers and master pages for the
chapter’s left and right facing pages.
You can specify that a chapter should always begin on a left or right page. If
you specify, for example, a right page, TextMaker will automatically insert an
empty page into the document as required to prevent the first page of the chapter
from falling on a left page.
