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889.
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566),
includingvariabledataanddynamicimages(see"Personalizingcontent"onpage708).Allelements
onaMasterPageshouldhaveanabsolutepositionorbeinsideanelementthathasanabsolutepos-
ition.ItisgoodpracticetopositionelementsonaMasterPagebyplacingtheminaPositionedBox(see
"Contentelements"onpage566).
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tem-
plate,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"above.
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
