Troubleshoot using master pages

I no longer want two master pages

  1. On the Arrange menu, click Layout Guides.
  2. Click the Create Two Master Pages With Mirrored Guides check box to clear it.

Microsoft Publisher will now use the right background for all the pages of your publication.

An object on the master page appears on only some of the pages

The object on the master page might be hidden by something on the foreground. If it's hidden by something you want to be able to see through, make that foreground object transparent.

  1. Select the object.
  2. Press CONTROL+T.

The change I made on the master page appears on only some of my pages

Your publication probably has facing pages, as a book does. This means it has one master page for the left pages and one for the right pages. You need to make the change to both master pages.

  1. In your publication, turn to a page where your changes don't appear.
  2. On the View menu, click Master Page.
  3. Make the changes you want.
