Can edits to master shapes trickle down to existing instances?

[Mike]

Hi. OK, I've figured out how to create and modify a master shape now, thanks
to the post below. However, none of the changes I make to the master seem to
get applied to instances of it that already exist on the page. I
double-clicked the master to edit it, made a change, closed the master
window, a dialog asked me if I wanted to update the master shape, and I said
yes. Now, any new instances of the shape that I create have the changes, but
none of the changes show up in
previous instances. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Mike

Instead of using masters, I would consider creating
Background pages, then use those as backgrounds for your
other pages (page setup), whenever you change the
background page the changes will be reflected in all the
other pages that use that background. You can have
multiple background pages.
