Master pages provide the underlying
format and background for pages. All new form designs are created
with a default master page, which is applied to the first page.
Additional pages are formatted according to the layout of the default master
page unless you create a different master page to use.
A form design can contain any number of master pages, each having
a unique layout. If some of the pages need different layouts or
boilerplate objects, you can create a master page for each unique
layout.
To assign a master page to a specific page
-
Select the subform by using one of these methods:
-
In the Design View tab, select the default subform on the
page.
-
In the Hierarchy palette, select the subform that corresponds
to the page.
-
In the Object palette, click the Pagination tab and, in the
Place list, select On Page >
[page]
, where
[page]
is
the name of the master page you want use.
Example of assigning a second master page to a form design
The following example
provides steps for assigning a second master page to a page in an
interactive form design or a form design that has a fixed layout.
This
form design contains two pages and two master pages. The first master
page has a portrait orientation and the second master page has a
landscape orientation.
-
Click the Design View tab.
-
Select the subform on page 2.
-
In the Object palette, click the Pagination tab and, in the
Place list, select On Page >
[page]
, where
[page]
is
the name of master page 2.
Page 2 inherits the layout
of master page 2 and now has a landscape layout.
