I have this master page for creating background  colors on each page:

I was able to apply it to pages 1 - 101. But how can I apply it to pages i - xvii?

Hi @Brigit Ananya:

 

In the Pages panel, click the thumbnail for page i, and then Shift+Click the thumbnail for page xvii (all selectede page thumbnails will be blue). Then Alt+click on the name of the master page you wish to assign to the selected body pages. You will see the letter for the corresponding master page in the top outside corners of the body pages once they are correctly assigned.

Hi Barb,

Thanks a lot!  I'm a beginner, and I appreciate your help. By the way, only one header letter seems to show, although I have other master pages applied also.

With Love, Brigit

Actually, yes, it seems one cannot apply many master pages. Right now, when I apply some header masters, page masters disappear, and when I apply page masters again, head masters disappear. I'm just going back and forth. PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance!
