Apply master pages
If your document contains custom spreads (such as a 3- or 4-page foldout in a magazine), any master you apply should
contain the same number of pages.
Note: Master items on a document page have a dotted border. If you cannot view master items on a document page, the
master item may be hidden on a lower layer or the master items may be hidden. Choose Show Master Items from the
Pages panel menu.

Unassign masters from document pages
❖
Apply the None master from the Masters section of the Pages panel.
When you unassign a master from a page, its layout and items no longer apply to the page. If a master contains most
of the elements you want, but you need to customize the appearance of a few pages, you can override master items and
edit or modify them on those document pages, instead of unassigning the master.
