Adding master pages

You can add new master pages to master page sets. Each master page set can have multiple custom master pages, but only a single first master page and single default master page.

1. In the Master Pages section of the Pages panel, select the master page set to which you want to add new master pages from the Current set menu.
2. Click New Master Page.

   

   The New Master Page dialog opens.

3. In the New Master Page dialog, enter a name for the new master page into the Name field.
4. Select the master page that you want to use as the basis from the Based on menu.
   Note

   Selecting (None) always creates a master page without any formatting but the page margins.

5. Choose one of the following master page types for your new master page:

   • First

   • Default

   • Custom

   Note

   If you select First or Default, the new master page replaces that existing master page, as each master page set can only have a single first and default master page.

   If you want to create a new master page without replacing any existing master pages, choose Custom.
