Changing multiple Master Pages at once...possible?

Brand new FM user here... I'm currently revising an older FM book which contains 388 individual files and putting it into FM2020. The Master Pages for each file should essentially be identical. Instead of changing all 388 sets of Master Pages individually for each file, is there a way to change all of them at once? This would save a large amount of time and repetition. Thanks in advance!

    1. Change the master page in one of the documents. Leave that document open.

    2. Open the book, select all of the files in the book, and choose File > Import > Formats.

    3. Select the document from Step 1 in the drop-down list.

    4. Uncheck all of the checkboxes except for Page Layouts.

    5. Click Import.

      So do I have to "open" all the files, or just select them to do this?
