Moving Pages To Another Document Without the Master Being Added

[junktestingjunk]

Every time I move a page from one In Design document to another it applies a master page to it. It is really annoying and frustrating to remove and since I do a lot of page moving between documents I would really like to find a way to avoid this or quickly remove the master. I have looked all over online and done a lot of trouble shooting. I still can't find an answer. Can someone help me out! Thank you!

Is this solution-workaround still available? I'm having this issue. I have a large layout that had to be worked on in two peices. I'm trying to move the 1st half to the start of the 2nd half. They both have the same master pages, named the same, etc … when I bring in the 1st half, it reapplies the master all over again. Going through and deleting the "bonus" master page items is workable; it'd be easier to leave it in two pieces, would cause fewer problems.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

yes, the link George gave is dead.

Why? Because the thread was either not moved from the old InDesign forum to this new one in late 2019 or, if it was moved, the URL had changed. If we knew the original title of the thread we perhaps could find the thread.

What I suggest:
Contact George through the private message system of the forum.

Click his name and press "Send a message". Maybe he still knows what was behind the link.

Regards,
Uwe Laubender
