thanks for your answer

I tried the sample code
  Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
 > Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Add
 > Set myMasterSpread = myDocument.MasterSpreads.Item(1)
 > If myMasterSpread.Pages.Count > 1 Then
 >     Do While myMasterSpread.Pages.Count > 1
 >         myMasterSpread.Pages.Item(1).Delete
 >     Loop
 > End If
 > Set myMasterPage = myMasterSpread.Pages.Item(1)
 > Rem Create a master page item.
 > Set myMasterItem = myMasterPage.Polygons.Add
 > myMasterItem.GeometricBounds = Array("6p", "6p", "24p", "24p")
 > Rem Create another master item.
 > Set myMasterItem = myMasterPage.Polygons.Add
 > myMasterItem.GeometricBounds = Array("18p", "18p", "36p", "36p")
 > Set myPage = myDocument.Pages.Item(1)
 > myPage.AppliedMaster = myMasterSpread
 > Rem Override the master page item.
 > Set myOverriddenPageItem = myPage.MasterPageItems.Item(1)
 > Rem Look at the document page. You'll see that the first master page 
item is overridden.
 > Rem If you look at the object using the WatchWindow or Locals window, 
you'll see that
 > Rem its overridden property has changed from false to true.

its work fine but when I want to imcorporate in my code by using an 
existing master page it didn't work

do you think that problem can appear if we don't create the master just 
before trying to overridde ???


I just ask this because I try to simplify my code and for the moment I 
apply a master and after as I can not overridde textbloc i recreate all 
textbloc one by one !!

for my project I open a document where page en master are define I open 
a XML file and apply the master define in xml and after complete all 
textbloc with the information of the xml. That give you an idea of my 
project

thanks

That's why I didn't answer that question, which really didn't have anything to do with scripting.
