236 Chapter 12 Designing Your Own Document Templates
To place a master object:
1 Place a fixed graphic anywhere on the page. (Inline objects cannot be used as master
objects.)
2 Set the object size.
3 Set object opacity. For more information, see “Adjusting Opacity” on page 154.
4 Mask any part of the image you don’t want to appear. For more information, see
“Cropping (Masking) Images” on page 128.
5 Set the text wrapping the way you want it. For more information, see “Wrapping Text
Around an Object” on page 136.
6 If you want the object to appear behind text, select it and choose Arrange > Send to
Back.
7 Choose Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
After the object has been placed on the section master, it cannot be selected, so you
can’t accidentally move it. If you want to move it or make changes to it, you can make
it selectable.
To edit a master object:
m Choose Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable, and then select the
object you want and edit it.
Master objects have blue selection handles.
To remove a master object and make it appear only on a single page:
m Choose Format > Advanced > Move Object to Page. The object is no longer repeated
on each page, but appears only on the selected page. It can be manipulated like any
other fixed object.
Adding Alignment Guides
Alignment guides created in a template page remain in the template to help whoever
uses the template position items on the page. The alignment guides appear when the
rulers or layout are shown, and disappear when rulers or layout are hidden.
Master objects have blue
selection handles.
