Using Master Pages

[Laura5DF0]

I've created a Master Page A and applied it to all 50 pages in the document. Now I want to click on each page and add text unique to that page. However, when I add text to one page, it applies it to all 50. I am not editing the master. Why can't I use a master to put the same design on each page and then give each page it's own unique text?

Thanks!

That sounds like you are editing the master. Be sure to double click the page icons as you move from the master pages to body pages. With a single click, you may think you are on a body page, but are actually still on the master.  If you disagree, please share a screen shot of your document, with the Pages panel open and visible.

You don't add "unique" text for each document page to the Master page (if I understand your question correctly) only text, such as a folio.
