AuthorSP Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hello, I copied a master page spread that I use for normal pages on my book layout. At the top of the left page there's a page number to the left and the title of the book is centered. Then there is a text frame below for the normal text. On the right side, the page number is to the top right, and the author name is centered, with the text box below. I copied this master spread and gave it a new name. The only changes I made to the master pages are that I removed the text boxes below the page/name sections at the top so I could add other components. However, when I apply the new master pages to a group of pages, for some reason it also removes the author name text from the top right section. It does not alter the page number section, nor does it remove the book title text from the left side page. I tried deleting and recreating the master pages, but I got the exact same result. I can't figure out what is going on here. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_J Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Can you provide your Publisher file? If you’d rather not include all the content, you can delete most of the pages, and just leave a page or two containing filler text.

AuthorSP Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 It seems like if I first remove the existing master page, then apply the new master page, it seems to work. Is that the right way to deal with this issue? I'm still not entirely certain, because of all the back and forth things I've done to try and work on this issue.

Brian_J Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I think removing, then applying the master page is probably what fixed the issue, but it's hard to say without knowing all the details. The issue might have been avoided using different options when initially applying the master page. Here are some Affinity help pages that may shed light on how to migrate and apply master pages to get the results you desire.
