Operation Manual

38 Working with Pages
To assign a master page:
From the Page tab's expanded
Master Pages window, drag a master
page onto a target standard page in
the lower window.
If the page has more than one layer,
you can specify the layer to which
you want to assign the master page.
Alternatively, use the Master
Page Manager (use the Set tab) in
the Pages tab.
Working with layers
Each new page or master page consists of a single layer. One layer may be
enough to accommodate the elements of a particular layout, but you can create
additional layers as needed. On each layer, objects such as text frames and
pictures are stacked in the order you create them, from back to front, with each
new object in front of the others. Layers themselves are stacked in a similar way,
and of course you can juggle the order of objects and layers as needed.
Layers are useful when you're working on a complex design where it makes
sense to separate one cluster of objects from another. You can work on one layer
at a time without worrying about affecting elements on a different layer.
Once you've displayed a page, you can normally edit any object on it—
regardless of which layer the object is on—simply by clicking the object.
