Use master pages to specify information
that repeats
on each page of a
document.
For example,
you might want a logo to appear on every page.
The maatarpage
is a prototype
of how
text and graphics
appear
on every
page.
The master
page
defines
the header
and footer,
the area where
the
body
text appears
on a page,
and graphics
(such
as a logo)
that repeat
on
every
page.
The illustration
at the left shows
a typical
master
page designed
with three
columns.
When you add a page, Word Processing
uses the layout and information
in
the master page to create the new page. Once created, you can change the
document
to suit your needs without affecting the master page.
If you specify two pages in Page Setup (left and right), the document
will
have two master pages: one for the left and one for the right.
Editing the master page
To change the format
of an individual page
in your document, do
not use a master
page. Instead, reduce
your document to
_I_ TO
edit the master page:
Scale to Fit in the
......
View menu; use the
pointer from the
Drawing tools; and
select and resize
header, footer, or
main body region.
This can be useful
when you want the
margins of a
particular
page to be
different from the rest
of the documenL
When
you edit the master
page,
Word Processing
updates
every page
in the
document
with any changes
you have made.
For example,
if you change
the
footer,
Word
Processing
applies
that change
on every
page.
