To set up and use the master page

1. Click the Master Page tab at the bottom left of the window. The master page displays.

2. On the File menu, click Page Setup.

3. Use the Page Setup dialog box to select the page size and orientation and adjust margins.

4. If you want a background color or fill, click Page Fill button on the Margins page, then use the Interior Fill tab of the Object Format dialog box to set up the fill.

5. On the Page Setup dialog box, click OK.

6. Place any items on the master page that you want to appear on all your pages.

7. Use the Master Page as the Page Size for all other pages in your document.

You can create and edit objects on the master page as with other pages by clicking the Page button, choosing Master Page, and making your changes. However, you cannot select or change master items unless the master page is the current page; this protects the master items from accidental changes. If you have a page in the document that you want to be different from the rest, you can display that page, choose the Page Setup command, and change the Page Size in the Page Setup dialog box to something other than Use Master Page. You can then make any changes you want to orientation, margins, and so forth. Master items do not appear on pages that are not set up to use the master page.
