smee45 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 In InDesign, to delete individual master page items (page numbers for example), from individual pages you select the item using CMD/Shift and delete. Can you do this in Publisher? Grateful for some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 A right-click in various situations offers different additional options, in case of a master page layer it enables you to detach this layer and therefore to edit its objects.

smee45 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thomaso Thank you for getting back, I will try it and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smee45 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Tried the suggested solution but didn't work. Am I correct in thinking that you have to make an additional master to erase page numbers on individual pages ? Seems a long-winded way to do what should be an easy operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a long-winded way to do what should be an easy operation You can apply multiple master pages to a page. That way you could have a master page with only the page numbers on it. On pages that are not supposed to have numbers you just don't assign that master page to them. So, there is no need to edit master pages, but to assign different combinations of them d.

smee45 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Have found the solution and pass it on for anyone else who wanted to know. Go to the layer panel and click the layer which contains the master you wish to revise. Right click, choose "edit detached" go to the page you want to edit, select item and delete or change colour etc. Press 'finish' and away you go!

Did not work? – Your solution appears to be the same than the suggestion that "didn't work" for you. – Where is the difference? p.s.: After Detaching the Master Layer you even don't need to switch to page view but simply can delete the wanted layer in the Layers Panel.
