Work with master pages
Master pages overview
Master pages supply the initial design of your book pages. You apply master page designs
repeatedly throughout a book.
If you plan to make reusable book albums, you can customize the page designs of a selected
theme before creating your books. You can select a master page and modify it, changing the
photo, text, and metadata boxes that appear on the page. You can also create new master pages
to suit specific layout needs. To modify pages, you use the procedures for working with photo,
text, and metadata boxes presented earlier in this chapter.
To modify a master page, you show master pages in the Master Pages pane and then add a new
page or select the page you want to work on. When you select a master page in the Master
Pages pane, the Book Layout Editor displays an enlarged view of the page.

Create and modify master pages
You can create new master pages, or you can duplicate existing master pages and modify them.
For example, if you decide to customize a two-photo layout from an original master page design,
you can save the customized version and have multiple two-photo layouts from which you can
choose. Once you create a new master page, the master page name appears in the Set Master
Page pop-up menu, where you can choose it to apply the design to pages in your book.
Note: You cannot modify the master pages for cover pages.
Create a new master page design
1 Choose Show Master Pages from the Book Action pop-up menu in the Book Layout Editor.
2 Select a master page in the Master Pages pane.
3 Choose Add New Page from the Add Pages pop-up menu (+).
The new master page appears in the Master Pages pane underneath the page you selected in
step 2.
4 If you want to rename the page, double-click its title and type a new name.
5 Select the new master page and make your changes.
