I created my document to have .25" margins. But when I add new pages the margins default to zero on those new pages only.
I know I can highlight all the pages and adjust the margins, but I'm looking to refrain from adding an extra step if at all possible.
Anyone, have a clue what's happening?
You should define the margins on the master/parent pages. When you add a new page use the master/paren you want or appl the master/parent: Select the page(s) and click with holding alt/option key on the desired master.
Give the master/paren useful names. It helps in the future.
Hi @paxtonhub:
The parent pages (called master pages in previous versions of InDesign) are in charge of the body pages—this is where we define the margins, columns and add repeating information like headers, footers and page numbers.

You two are both correct. The A-master was missing/deleted from the template file. I created a new file making sure those A-parent masters were there and everything is smooth sailing. Thank you both! @Barb Binder @Willi Adelberger
