iCalamus 2: Master pages

iCalamus 2 > Reference > Inspectors > Document-related inspectors > Page inspector Index

Master pages

In the upper area of the Page inspector, you see the list of master pages. Use the sizer bar between the list of master pages and the list of pages if you want to resize the areas of the two lists.

By default, the list of master pages shows a single master page named 'Default Master Page'.

Hint: Contrary to other lists in other inspectors, a double click into the list of master pages does not open a parameter dialog. When you double-click on a list entry in the list of master pages, the view of the current document in the active window will be switched to master page view immediately, and the selected master page will be shown page-fitting in the document window.

A click on the action symbol in the upper right corner of the list of master pages opens the master pages functions menu. At the moment, the following functions are available:

New Master Page

Choose this menu item if you want to create a new master page. The following dialog opens where you can set all required parameters. The dialog describes itself.

Hint: If you assign label colors to master pages, they will not only be seen in the list of master pages, but also in the pages to which you have assigned a labelled master page. To assign master pages to layout pages, simply drag a master page from the list, and drop it onto the symbol of a layout page. Alternatively, open the action menu entry Edit Page(s) (see below) where you can assign a master page to one or more layout pages in one action.

The master page that is currently selected is shown in the list with a gray background (and a colored dot for those that have a label).

Edit Master Page

Using this menu item, you can edit the parameters of the selected master page in the following dialog.

The parameters of this dialog describe themselves.

Hint: The number of pages that were originally defined in the New Master Page dialog cannot be changed afterwards.

Remove Master Page

If you have selected a master page in the list of master pages, you can remove it using this menu item. If the master page was used somewhere else in the document, you will have to choose a replacement master page.
