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.)
If you add, delete, or rename a master page in a layout family, the master page is
added, deleted, or renamed in all of the layouts in that layout family.
If you add pages to one of a layout family's layouts with a particular master page,
pages with that same master page are added to the other layouts in the layout
family.
If you apply a master page to a layout page in one of a layout family's layouts,
that master page is not applied to the corresponding pages in the layout family's
other layouts. This allows you to use different master pages for the vertical and
horizontal versions of a page in a layout family.
If you make a change to a given master page in one of a layout family's layouts,
that change is not reflected in the same-named master pages in the other layouts.
This allows you to customize master pages for each of a layout family's page
designs.
Working with layers
The Layers palette is the "control center" for layers. You can hide, show, lock, or unlock
layers with a single click in this palette. You also can use this palette to specify the
