Hi All,

In my document I have several pages with footers & headers, and some without. I'd like to remove the footer & header from a specific page in the document. How can I do it without damaging the master page for the rest of the document?

      Did you get this to work, Vicki?

      Here's a very simple step-by-step I wrote up for my students, who ask variations of this question all the time:

      After you create the custom master page, just select the background frames with the Select Object tool and delete them. Since I don't see a paragraph on your screen shot to use on a master page mapping table, you might just want to assign it manually.

      There is no need to complicate this by creating a new master.

      When attempting to remove a header, footer. page#, etc. from an individual page simply use Ctrl + Shift + click on the element to select it, then you can delete or move the offending item from the page.

        When the items are on a master page and I am on a body page, I cannot access these items.

        Thank you barb,

        That was exactly what I was looking for ('Master page Usage').

          I would create a separate master page for it. You could also use the Master Page Assignment feature to automatically assign master pages based on paragraph styles.
