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170),
includingvariabledataanddynamicimages(see"Personalizingcontent"onpage297).Allelements
onaMasterPageshouldhaveanabsolutepositionorbeinsideanelementthathasanabsolutepos-
ition.ItisgoodpracticetopositionelementsonaMasterPagebyplacingtheminaPositionedBox(see
"Contentelements"onpage170).
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tem-
plate,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.
2. Next,definethemarginsfortheheaderandfooter.Themarginsforaheaderandfooteraresetin
theMasterPageproperties.ThisdoesnotchangethecontentplacementwithintheMasterPage
itself;inMasterPages,elementscangoeverywhereonthepage.Instead,theheaderandfooter
oftheMasterPagelimitthetextflowonpagesinthePrintsectionstowhichthisMasterPageis
applied.PagesinaPrintsectionthatusethisMasterPagecannotdisplaycontentinthespace
thatisreservedbytheMasterPagefortheheaderandfooter,sothatcontentinthePrintsection
doesnotcollidewiththecontentoftheheaderandfooter.Tosetamarginfortheheaderand/or
footer:
a. OntheResourcespane,expandtheMaster pagesfolder,right-clickthemasterpage,andclick
Properties.
b. Fillouttheheightoftheheaderand/orthefooter.Thecontentsofaprintsectionwillnotappearin
thespacereservedfortheheaderand/orfooteronthecorrespondingmasterpage.
