Master Pages in Adobe InDesign CS

More Ways to Add Pages

Setting Master Pages with the Pages Palette

Images by E. Bruno

• Instead of dragging the master pages down to the lower part of the palette, where the normal pages are, you can either just click on the New Page button or you go to the Page palette menu and choose Insert Pages.

• You can then choose the number of pages you want to select, where to put those pages (after or before which already existing page) and which master to base them on.

• If you have multiple masters, and you are adding pages by clicking the New Page button instead of the Insert Pages option in the Page palette menu, the new pages will be based on the last master chosen in the Insert Pages option.

  For example, let's say that you have Master A and Master B. You just went to the Insert Pages option and you have added 10 pages based on Master B. If you now want to add another page by using the New Page button at the bottom of the Page palette, your new page will also be based on Master B.
