Copy masters



You can copy masters within the same document or from one document to another to use as the starting point for a new master. You can also copy masters to other documents when you synchronize documents in a book or import master pages from another document.

Copy a master within a document

 In the Pages panel, do one of the following:

  • Drag the page name of a master spread to the New Page button at the bottom of the panel.

  • Select the page name of a master spread, and choose Duplicate Master Spread [spread name] in the panel menu.

When you copy a master, the page prefix of the copied master becomes the next letter in the alphabet.

Copy or move a master to another document

  1. Open the document you want to add the master to. Then open the document with the master you want to copy.
  2. In the Pages panel of the source document, do either of the following:

    • Click and drag the master spread to the destination document’s window to copy it.

    • Select the master you want to move or copy. Choose Layout > Pages > Move Master, and choose the destination document name from the Move To menu. If you want to remove the page or pages from the source document, select Delete Pages After Moving, and then click OK.
