How do I designate all pages for an AppliedMaster script?

[armorup33]

Hello all,

I feel like this should be a "duh" thing but I've tried everything I can think of and have come up empty.

Attempting to apply a master page to all the pages in my document in a script. I am aware that this is easy to do in InDesign, but we have a multi-step script that needs to include this step. The code below applied the master page to the first page, but does not work for multi-page documents.

app.documents[0].pages[0].appliedMaster = app.documents[0].masterSpreads.item ('GGS-Master');

Also, if you can suggest a source for looking up javascript terms, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi Amanda,

you could work with method everyItem() to access all document pages:

So your code could be written like that:

app.documents[0].pages.everyItem().appliedMaster = 
app.documents[0].masterSpreads.item('GGS-Master');
