Hi, we are going to need more details to help you with this issue.

Can you confirm:

  • You have a document created in InDesign, 
  • You have at least a couple of Master Pages (called Parents now) with some design/rulers/items on them
  • Your issue is that you cannot apply a Master to a page or several page

Can you share a screenshot of you Pages panel?

Can you tell us what happens when you right-click on the Master (Parent) that you want to apply and select 'Apply Master (/Parent) to pages...' See screenshot below, or drag a Master (or spread Master) to the pages you want to 'format'.

Hi Eric,

I am a user of the latest software available, always.
MacOS Ventura 13.2
InDesign 18.2

I am a professional user since the first version of ID and QuarkXpress before.

This problem I have already 3 versions earlier, but I hoped since than that it will be solved in de next versions.
Rightclck works as it should but after dubbelclick no page on mij screen. I can select the pages (blue), that’s it.
I made a clean startup, I tried a re-installation.
Please help me.

Great,
Henk Hokse
