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.
