How do I delete an a A Master Grid for two pages of my 9 page Presentation?

[SRenee]

I AM A BEGGINER

I have created a Presentation in Adobe InDesign. I have created A Master Grid for each page however I now want to delete the grids on 2 Pages and create a new grid for only those particular pages . However it is part of A Master. How would I get around this please?

[Alexandre Becquet]

Hello, you have to create a new Master (B) with the desired grid and then apply it to the pages to modify.

For example: Page 1 with A Master 2-3-4 with  B Master and 5 to 10 again A Master

I hope that my explanation of French will be understandable

Thank you CIA_design

You don't need to delete your A Master.

Just create a new master (from the Pages panel menu, choose New Master). You could call it B Master. While it's the active master page, format it as you like for the two pages.

Drag the thumbnail of A Master onto the thumbnails of pages you want to have that format. Drag the B Master thumbnail onto the pages you want with that format.

Thank you Steve. What I have done is I have gone to Layout, Pages, Apply Master to Pages, I chose (None) and added 4, 7 to  the Pages. So now, what I have is page 4 and 7 without any grids and the rest of pages in A Master.

So, now do I press on (None) and create my Grid??

Since I'm having a hard time visualizing your layout, it would help if you could follow @jane-e's advice: Create screen shots of your Pages panel showing both the Master section and the Document pages section. Go to the Pages panel menu and choose Panel Options and choose Large thumbnails so it's easier for us to see them.

You can attach your screen capture to your message in the forum editor by clicking the Insert Image button.

Thank you Steve. Please find below what I have done... You can see the third page with A Master Grid and the forth page without any grid. I have highlighted the 'None' to the right and Page 4. Is this where I start my new Grid?

You can't edit the None Master. Create a new master and make your new grid there. Apply it to pages 4 and 7. Use the Panel Menu.

[Steve Werner]

I agree with Jane. That's what I said in my first reply.

[jane-e]

Steve is correct in his first reply. Please post if you have question as to how to follow the steps for creating a second master and applying it to these to pages.

Maybe it would help to read the InDesign Help file on Master Pages:

Learn how to use master pages in InDesign

Or perhaps a video tutorial like this

Hi there Jane

May you give me steps on how to create a second master please? I am only a beginner and at this stage am multitasking quite a lot of work.

Kind Regards

Hi SRenee​

• Click the menu on the Pages panel (see screenshot)
• Select "New Master...
• The Default is "B" and you can add another name
• Format it as desired
• Apply the B Master to pages 4 and 7

Do you really mean "I have created A Master Grid for each page" or do you mean "I  have applied a Master page to each page"?

You wouldn't normally create nine master pages for a nine page document.

SRenee,

If none of these answer your question, then we will need screen shots, including the Pages panel. We need both the Masters section and Pages section—adjust the divider so we can see both.
