MASTER PAGES versus BODY PAGES
Changes to the structure of your document should be made on the Master
pages. By default, a single sided document will only have a master
page title "Right". A double-sided document would then have a "Right"
and a "Left" master page. You can add as many master pages as you
need for a document, however when you are writing text and come to the
end of a page, by default Frame will create a new page using the
format from the left or right masterpage.
You should think of the master page as including any information that
you need for any and all pages of a single format. This would include
headers/footers and the layout of the text on a page (for instance, the
margins, or number of columns on a page).
Once the changes to a master page are made, they may need to be
applied to the appropriate body pages in your document. You should
only explicitly change a body page if you know that the change is only
for that page, and that any changes to the document are not going to
require those changes be undone.
In the body pages you should only include the body of the document,
such as any text, figures, tables, etc. that you may need to include.
Since these are generally not duplicated, there is no need to place
the information on a master page.
For more specifics on changing margins, including headers and footers,
and other formatting questions, see the other Frame stock answers.
