applied to different pages; see "Applying a Master Page to a page in a Print section" on the
facing page.
Importing a Master Page
To import one or more Master Pages from another template, click File >Import Resources... in
the menu. See: "Import Resources dialog" on page498.
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.
The drop-downs at the top of the Workspace let you select a Section and a Media (front or
back) that will serve as a background to your Master Page design.
A Master Page can contain text, images and other elements (see "Content elements" on
page187), including variable data and dynamic images (see "Personalizing content" on
page334). All elements on a Master Page should have an absolute position or be inside an
element that has an absolute position. It is good practice to position elements on a Master Page
by placing them in a Positioned Box (see "Content elements" on page187).
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:
1. First insert elements that form the header or footer, such as the company logo and
address, on the Master Page; see "Editing a Master Page" above.
