Keep in mind that a Master Page always remains a single page. Its content cannot overflow to a
next page. Content that doesn't fit, will not be displayed.
Note
Editing the Master Page is optional. One Master Page must always exist in a Print
template, but if you don't need it, you can leave it empty.
Adding a header and footer
Headers and footers are not designed as part of the contents of a Print section, but as part of a
Master Page, which is then applied to a page in a print section.
To create a header and footer:
1. First insert elements that form the header or footer, such as the company logo and
address, on the Master Page; see "Editing a Master Page" on the previous page.
2. Next, define the margins for the header and footer. The margins for a header and footer
are set in the Master Page properties. This does not change the content placement within
the Master Page itself; in Master Pages, elements can go everywhere on the page.
Instead, the header and footer of the Master Page limit the text flow on pages in the Print
sections to which this Master Page is applied. Pages in a Print section that use this
Master Page cannot display content in the space that is reserved by the Master Page for
the header and footer, so that content in the Print section does not collide with the content
of the header and footer. To set a margin for the header and/or footer:
1.
On the Resources pane, expand the Master pages folder, right-click the master
page, and click Properties.
2. Fill out the height of the header and/or the footer. The contents of a print section will
not appear in the space reserved for the header and/or footer on the corresponding
master page.
3. Finally, apply the master page to a specific page in a print section. See "Applying a
Master Page to a page in a Print section" below.
Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print section
Every page in a print section has a natural position: it can be the first page, the last page, one of
the pages in between (a 'middle page'), or a single page. For each of those positions, you can
