MicRosoft Publisher Master Pages

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I created 3 master pages in publisher. Is there a way to have those 3 pages repeat? When I add a new page it is only the duplicate of the previous page, not the first one in order.

Master Pages are actually in the Running Headers of the Section.

So for each Section, you can have three headers: First Page, Left Page, and
Right Page; and three footers ‹ first, left, and right.

By default, most Publishing Layout View documents have only one Section
Break (which you cannot see unless you switch to Draft View).

You can insert more section breaks. To avoid disturbing your layout, you
can make them "Continuous" so they do not throw a page break.

If you insert another section break, the next new page after it will be the
"First Page", then either a Left or Right Page (depends on the page number)
followed by another either left or right page.

In the Formatting Palette you will discover that the section you just
inserted, by default, will copy the first, left, and right headers as master
pages. If you uncheck the button in the Formatting Palette that says "same
as previous" you break the link to the existing section break, and you can
then create a new set of three headers: First, Left, and Right.

So each time you want a new set of master pages, you need to add a new
section break to the document (because it is the section break container
that stores the master pages, and each section break can contain a maximum
of three master pages).

Hope this helps
