Master pages doesnt give me the option to skip some pages. i need to place a label on most of the pages.

I was looking for an option to "paste into multiple pages" but didnt find any.

what can do the trick?

    Do you want the label to be different on each page or only some pages? Either way the option I recommend is to place the label on the master page. For any page you want to remove or change the label hold Command-Shift (Mac) or Control-Shift (Windows) and click on the label. This will move it to the page where it can be edited, moved, or deleted. This will only affect the current page, not the master page.

    Yes, perfectly possible with an ‘Add on’ you can find on Adobe’ own page here:

    MultiPaste

    Just drag the Master with [none] on top of those pages you don't want a label on, or create an A master with (say) a folio and other repeating content, and no label and a B Master with the (say) a folio and other repeating content and the label, and drag the appropriate master pages on top of those pages you want with or without the label.

    You can also use the fly-out menu to select Apply Master to Pages... where you can specify the range of pages.
