Hi Joe, > I have my four templates. I call one up, using "new from a template" > under the file menu.
This step isn't necessary, as templates are used for complete documents, not single pages. Just use "Edit > Master Pages" "Page > Convert to Master Page" to create a master page. > Then I go to the Page menu, and click on "convert to master page," give it > a name, and click okay. Then I click on the edit menu and go to Master > Pages, and, sure enough, there it is, right in there with Normal. So I get > the next template, click on convert to master page, give it a name and > click okay. When I go to edit/master pages, I find the new master page in > place, but the previous one is gone. It's not gone. As said above, when you create a template, this will be used as a template for a whole document, so each time you use "File > New from Template" you create a new document. This new document doesn't know anything about the master page(s) you created in another document. > Why is this happening? Is "convert to master page" not a legitimate > way to make a master page? It is, but obviously you have been confused by the word "template". template = document master page = page (background) Since this isn't the first time someone confused templates and master pages, I suggest we add an article to the wiki.
