Help! I have a book made up of publications (sections). Only one of the publications has the Master Pages and Styles that I want to apply to all of the sections (the entire book). When I make the book (i.e. Utilities>Book and follow the procedure to make a book and copy all the styles over, the styles transfer, I can make a TOC with no problems, etc, but Master Page Styles do not copy over. Is there any way to copy over Page Master Styles from one document to another document? I am fresh out of ideas. Thanks so much!

The fly-out on the floating style palette has an option to import styles from another publication. Be careful though if you import a style which has the same name as an existing style but with different specifications. Iechyd da! John 22:32 05/03/2009 GMT

Nice try, and I appreciate your attempt, but, this didn't help/ I don't need to copy styles, like fonts and sizes and paragraph spacing--I can do that. What I need to do is copy MASTER PAGE STYLES from one document to another-- page grids/columns, position of items on only certain pages like a special section start design, left/right inside pages, etc. Can anyone tell me how to do that?? Thanks!

You can only do that manually, page by page, AFAIK. You open the two publications and tile them side by side. Naviagate to the appropriate master pages in each publication. Usiing the pointer tool, click Edit -> Select All in the source/original publication. Now just drag everything into the other publication in the adjacent tiled window. Save. Repeat๏ฟฝ Iechyd da!
