How to create a master page

Product: Quark Publishing Platform (QPP) NextGen, QuarkXPress

You can create a master page in the following two ways:
  • By adding elements on a blank master page
  • By capturing and managing elements on a page from an imported document
The process is as follows:
  1. After you have created or opened a project in QuarkXPress, in the header ribbon bar, select Windows > Page Layout or use the keyboard shortcut F10 (both Mac and Windows) to open the Page Layout palette.

Note: The palette Page Layout lists all the pages in your project and a default blank master page, which you can use to create a master page for a page in your project
  1. Select the page of your project from which you want to create a master page, right-click, and then select Copy in the context menu to copy all the elements (drawn or imported) on the page.

Note: If your project contains more than one page, you have to create master pages for the other pages. To create a new blank master page, select and drag the blank vertical rectangle in the Page Layout palette to the list of the master pages area.
