How Do I Globally Edit Multiple Chapter Master Pages In a Book?

I'm working on a new edition of an existing book; the new edition will have a new trim size.  I have 40 or so chapters, and I want to change the master page of all the chapters and part headings of the book.  It's been about five years since I've done anything in FM, so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change the page and flow size of all the chapters in the book.  Is there a way to do this globally?  Or, to do it to one chapter and copy/paste those master pages to all the other chapters?

Thanks!

John

      See the recent thread (about same issue for Variables).

      Editing multiple chapters at once.

      Same technique, just specify only Page Layouts.

      And you'll probably want chapter1.fm to be the controlling instance, rather than cover.fm
