How to create 100 duplicates of pages?

[inkster]

Hi all,

I want to create 100 pages that contain the same page content. I also want page numbers on them.

So I have master A with page number on bottom R, master B with page number on bottom L.

I also have master C with the content that will appear on all the pages.

I can duplicate the first page, then while holding Alt key drag master C onto the page thumbnail (to add the master instead of replace the existing master)...

But, to do this for 100 pages, is there a faster way to do this??

Also, I notice that if I am on no facing page setting, that duplicate a page with say master A, that this next page also has master A, which means the page number will be on the wrong side of the page. I can go to facing page setting, and then duplicate 2 pages to ensure that A and B alternate. But still, is there a way to duplicate the 2 pages 50 times in 1 click?

Thank you!

You might first create your 100 pages with the first master :

Then you could select all the pages created and apply the second master :

Hello, if I do this, then all pages will have master A, but i need alternating master A and B...

You can select all the pages and then right click on the Master B page and select Apply Master To Pages, uncheck Replace Existing

I read a little too fast…

At the beginning you have to have a master that has 2 pages (left and right) for the page numbers…

And then you should have a second master (for your content)…

Beware when you apply the second master (all) : untick the "remplacer existant"…

Re page numbering you can have a Master A set as facing pages, so you effectively have a single Master Page with two pages, then all you need is the Master B

Thank you so much all,

The secret to this as mentioned above in your replies is to create a master with 2 pages - didnt realise I could do that!

I set the content and page numbers to this master, then added x number of pages with this as the master.

Thank you
