l Tips and tricks for Media and Master Pages.
Adding a Master Page
When a Print template is created, one master page is added to it automatically. Adding more
Master Pages can be done as follows:
l On the Resources pane, right-click the Master pages folder and click New Master Page.
l Type a name for the master page.
l Optionally, set the margin for the header and footer. See "Adding a header and footer" on
the facing page.
l Click OK.
Initially, the master page that has been created together with the Print context will be applied to
all pages in the Print section. After adding more Master Pages, different Master Pages can be
applied to different pages; see "Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print section" on the
facing page.
Importing a Master Page
To import one or more Master Pages from another template, click File >Import Resources... in
the menu. See: "Import Resources dialog" on page971.
Editing a Master Page
Master Pages are edited just like sections, in the workspace. To open a Master Page, expand
the Master pages folder on the Resources pane, and double-click the Master Page to open it.
The drop-downs at the top of the Workspace let you select a Section and a Media (front or
back) that will serve as a background to your Master Page design.
A Master Page can contain text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on
page633), including variable data and dynamic images (see "Personalizing content" on
page789). All elements on a Master Page should have an absolute position or be inside an
element that has an absolute position. It is good practice to position elements on a Master Page
by placing them in a Positioned Box (see "Content elements" on page633).
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.
