New Master Page dialog

The New Master Page dialog allows you to add new master pages to the current master page set, define the type of the new master page, and base new master pages on existing ones.

  • You can open the New Master Page dialog in Engrave mode by clicking New Master Page  in the Master Pages section of the Pages panel.

New Master Page dialog

The New Master Page dialog contains the following options:

Name

Allows you to enter a name for the new master page, for example, Title page.

Based on

Allows you to select an existing master page on which you want to base the new master page. This creates a new master page with the same frames and formatting as the Based on master page.

Note

Master pages based on existing master pages are linked to the Based on master page. Any changes you make to frames shared between the master pages affect both master pages, for example, changing the text in an existing text frame. Deleting frames and inputting new ones breaks this link.

Type

Allows you to choose the type of the new master page.

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.
