Multiple master pages

[LaraJ]

Hi,

When applying multiple master pages to a range of pages, is there a way to remove only one of the master pages (without clearing ALL masters) for several pages of the document at once? 

Thanks!

Before I start suggesting things...

You have Masters A, B, and C

You apply them to Pages 1-8. So now you have Pages 1 to 8 with Master A and B and C applied to each page.

You want to remove Master B from Page 5.

Am I close?

Try apply Master A to Page 5 with Remove Masters and then Apply Master C to Page 5 with Do not remove.

@Old Bruce It's more like I have masters A, B and C applied to page 1 to 4 and master A, B and D applied to page 5 to 8.

I want to remove master B from pages 2 to 6.

Delete the Master B page from Master Pages panel, which will remove it from all pages

Recreate Master B page 

Select pages you want to apply it to and reapply Master B to those pages only

Go to the individual pages (2 to 6) and use the Layers panel and remove Master B from page 2, then page 3 and on and on.

@Old Bruce Yeah, I think that's what I'll have to do in the end. Unfortunately, the document has hundreds of pages so I'll have to manually remove Master B from dozens of pages. I was really hoping a quicker solution was available.
