Change dragged master default action to add, rather than replace?

[Mike Brett]

When you drag a master page from the master pages panel onto a page icon in the pages panel, the default action is that any exisitng applied masters are replaced by the newly added one. Is there any way please to change this such that the new master page is simply added to those already applied to the page? I like the drag facility, much quicker than right clicking on the page icon and Apply Master.

Thanks

I don't think there is. It might make a good feature request, though.

On the Mac you can hold down the option key while dropping the master onto the page to add it instead of replacing.

Same (Ctrl modifier) in Windows.

Thank you both very much. I had tried this but it didn't work at the time because I was not allowing time for my currently sick old machine to do the job.  I've now tried it again slightly more slowly and yes it works for me too.

Thanks again & best wishes        - Mike -
