To set different margins in different sections of your document, you must use the

m

Layout inspector and change the layout margins. To learn about setting layout
margins, see “Defining Layout Margins” on page 52.

For more information about facing pages, see “Using Left- and Right-Facing Pages” on
page 52.

Reusing Sections

You can make a section in a document reusable by adding it to the pop-up menu that
appears when you click Pages in the toolbar.

To reuse some or all of the pages in a section:

1

Select the section in the thumbnail view.

2

Choose Format > Advanced > Capture Pages.

3

In the dialog that appears, type a name for the page or pages, use the Include pop-up

menu to indicate which pages you want to reuse, and then click OK.

The page or pages are available in the pop-up menu that appears when you click the
Pages button in the toolbar.

Using Master Objects (Repeated Background Images)

You may want to add watermarks, logos, or other background images that appear in
the same spot on every page of your word processing documents. These repeated
graphics are called master objects.

If your document is divided into sections, you can put different master objects in each
section. Within a section, you can put a different master object on the first page of the
section and on right and left pages in the section. See “Setting Up a Unique Format
for a Section’s First Page”
on page 62 and “Formatting Facing Pages in a Section” on
page 62 for more information.

To add a master object to your word processing document:

1

Add an object.

See “What Are Floating and Inline Objects?” on page 137 for information about
floating objects.

2

Position the object wherever you want it on the page.

3

Choose Format > Advanced > “Move Object to Section Master,” and make sure that

Format> Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable does not have a checkmark
next to it.
The selection handles disappear from the object, so you can no longer select it.
