Master Pages
InPrintsections,thereareoftenelementsthatneedtoberepeatedacrosspages,likeheaders,footers
andlogos.Inaddition,someelementsshouldappearonlyonspecificpages,suchasonlythefirst
page,orthelastpage,oronlyonpagesin-between.Examplesareadifferentheaderonthefirstpage,
andatear-offslipthatshowsuponthelastpage.
ThisiswhatMasterPagesareusedfor.MasterPagescanonlybeusedinthePrintcontext(see"Print
context"onpage122).
MasterPagesresemblePrintsections,andtheyareeditedinmuchthesameway(see"Editinga
MasterPage"onthefacingpage)buttheycontainasinglepageanddonothaveanytextflow.Only
oneMasterPagecanbeappliedperpageinprintedoutput.ThenaPrinttemplateiscreated,onemas-
terpageisaddedtoitautomatically.YoucanaddmoreMasterPages;see"AddingaMasterPage"

appliedtodifferentpages;see"ApplyingaMasterPagetoapageinaPrintsection"onpage143.
