Applying master pages
There are two ways to apply a master page to a layout page.
Drag the master page from the top part of the Page Layout palette (Windows menu)
to the target page in the bottom part of the palette.
Select the target page or pages in the bottom part of the Page Layout palette, then
press Option/Alt and click the desired master page in the top part of the palette.
Updating master pages
When you make a change to a master page, that change is automatically made to any
layout pages that use that master page. In other words, if you move the page number
box on a master page, the page number box will be automatically repositioned on
every page that uses that master page.
If you make a change to a master page item on a layout page, then reapply the master
page, one of two things can happen:
If Master Page Items is set to Keep Changes (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Print
Layout > General pane), the changed item is left where it is but is no longer linked
with the master page, and a copy of the item from the master page is added.
If Master Page Items is set to Delete Changes (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences >
Print Layout > General pane), the changed item is deleted and replaced with a copy
of the item from the master page.
Master pages and layout families
Master pages work a little bit differently with layout families than they do with layouts
that are not part of a layout family. (For more information about layout families, see
"Understanding layout families" in A Guide to App Studio.)
