Creating a master page

A master page is text or graphic information that repeats on every page of a
draw document. Unlike a header or footer, information on a master page can
occupy the entire working area of the page, and stays behind everything else
on the pages of a document.

Consider using a master page to:

1

show a company logo, or text such as Draft or Confidential in
text frames behind the main body of text

1

create a border around the contents of each page

1

add a common background to slides in a presentation

To create a master page, choose Edit Master Page from the Options menu. (You
see Master Page in the page indicator at the bottom of the window.) Add the
page elements you want to appear on every page of the document. Then
choose Edit Master Page again from the Options menu.
