  7. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • Master pages are templates that you create for a page layout. • Once created, you apply the master page to the document pages you want to base on that layout.

  8. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • Master pages are found on the Pages panel. • The default master page is called A-Master. • Master pages can be single pages or left and right facing pages.

  9. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page Single master page Default master page Left and right master pages Document pages based on the A-Master Create new page button Delete selected pages button

  10. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • Everything on a master page is automatically placed on document pages based on that master. • Use the Pages panel to add, delete, and reorder document pages and apply master pages to document pages.

  11. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • New masters based on others have all of the same master items. • To override or unlock a master item, press and hold [Shift][Ctrl] (Win) or [Shift] [command key] (Mac) to select those objects on the new master and make necessary changes.

  12. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • All objects on the master, such as text frames or graphic frames, are called master items and function as a place where objects on the document pages are to be positioned.

  13. Create a New Document and Set Up a Master Page • Guides are horizontal or vertical lines that you position on a page. • Guides are used to help guide you in aligning objects on the page. • When the Snap to Guides command is checked, objects adhere more readily to guides.
