Adding a Master Page
When a Print template is created, one master page is added to it automatically. Adding more
Master Pages can be done as follows:
l On the Resources pane, right-click the Master pages folder and click New Master Page.
l Type a name for the master page.
l Optionally, set the margin for the header and footer. See "Master Pages" on the previous
page.
l Click OK.
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.
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.
A Master Page can contain text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on page
223), including variable data and dynamic images (see "Personalizing Content" on page 325).
It is good practice to position elements on a Master Page by placing them in a Positioned Box
(see "Content elements" on page 223).
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
template, 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:
