How to add new page with document page margins applied

[Kiwee]

Hi there beautiful Adobe Support Community,

I am working on a document in Indesign and there are over 100 pages. I have set margins and columns set for the document but everytime I add a new page, it has the default page margins and not what I had set for the whole document. Is there a way to set the document so I don't have to reset page margins for every new page I add? 

Thank you in advance! x

Hi Purpose:

When you start a new document, you specify the margins in the New Document dialog box, and those margins are applied to the A-Master automatically. As long as each new page that you add is using the A-Master, you will get the same margins on the new pages. If you need to change the margins on the body pages, you should return to the A-Master and make the change there, so that all the body pages will update.

I suspect that you have margin overrides on your body pages, and when you add each new page, InDesign is actually using the master page margins.
