About master pages

In multi page publication, your design will be more cohesive if each page is
built on a common foundation or master page. A master page typically contains
basic design elements, such as headers, footers and page numbers that are common
to most or all pages in your publication. Master pages also contain nonprinting
layout guides, such as column guides, ruler guides and margin guides each
publication can have a virtually unlimited number of master pages.
You can create, modify and delete objects on master pages just like any other
objects, but you must do so from the master pages themselves.
Each publication you open contains a document master page or (if the
publication includes facing pages) a document master page spread. The document
master applies to all pages in the publication until you specify otherwise and cannot
be renamed or removed from the publication.
An icon representing the master pages appears at the lower left corner of a
publication window in layout view. The letters L and R (for left and right) mark the
master page icon for facing pages a single-sided publication icon is marked by an R
alone. Click the icon to turn to the mater applied to the current publication page.
