Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie I'm going to show you how to override master page items. Not just on pages themselves but in multiple master pages and you'll see how this works as we move along. First of all, we're in the document we've been working on and I've added a couple of section markers down at the lower outside page, both left and right, and what I want is just to change this on every page but if I put it on the master page at least the text will be the same and the color of the side bar will be the same, I'll just type in new text. So, they're on the master page here but I need to put them on my B Master as well, so I'll double click here to go into it and look, they're already there. Now, the reason they're already there, I didn't type them in there is when we created this master, we based it on Master A so if I go into my menu and if I actually pull it down now it will be dimmed out, Master Options and the reason is I've only got one page selected, I'll hold down the Shift, select both and then I can go in here. You see, it's based on A Master, so anything that we add to Master A now is actually going to show up on Master B. So if I come over here and just draw a box like that, go over to Master B, it's there, so let me go back to Master A and get rid of it like that. Go to Master B and here we are, but I want to change the color of this side bar here to match the scheme of this particular page rather than Master A, so we've got to override that and to override anything on a master page, you hold down Control Shift or Command Shift and click on the item. Now I clicked on the text there which meant I overrode it and it's out and I can come change it and edit it. If I click on the block here like that, it becomes separated as well. So I'm going to select this, come over, change the color like that, and it's changed. Now, remember, I selected the text before I selected the block, if I were to come over here and select the block like that it overrides it and it puts it in front of the text and if I go to the Arrange menu, which we haven't done yet, I can't send it to the back because master page items are always on the back. So let me undo that, so in this particular case I've got to separate the text and the bar to get them coming out together so that I can change the bar and still have the text showing on top of it. Now this is something I can solve using layers which is in the next chapter but since we haven't going to done that I'm actually just going to be forced to change the text as well, so I'm going to Control Shift or Command Shift, click on the text, and then do the same on the bar, select the bar, change the color like that and there we've changed everything we need on Master B. Now let's go back to our pages here and I'm going to go to pages 2 and 3 double click on the spread and there we have this. Now if we want to change it we can come over here, Command or Control Shift and this time I just want to click on the text like that and there we can put for example, Cars, so this is a page with Pre-1930 cars, go over to this one, Control or Command Click, triple click inside it, Planes, and then we can come over to a B marker down here like this and we can do the same, again we'll get the selection tool, click here, and we'll put Cars and so on and so forth. So we've overridden this from what is on the master page. Now one thing you do have to be careful with if you decide to go back and reapply your master page to it, and I'm just going to do that let's say whoops, this is actually really Pre-1930's toys and I'm going to apply that master here and I'm going to drag it down onto page 6 like that and if I zoom in here it puts the marker from the master page but look, it's put the cars there as well, so that text has been separated from the master page completely and it stays on the page. So if you change your master page all that text will come out on top of any text from the master pages so just be aware that that's what happens. I'm going to undo that a couple of times, Control or Command Z to get back where we are but remember once you break with the master, you break everything with it so if I go back to Master A here, select this text, change the font, let's just go to Marion Pro bold italic like that, now when I go to the B Master, it hasn't changed because we broke with A Master there and again if I go to page 2 which was set up with A Master, there's the text there, it remains the same font, let me undo that, Control or Command Z, whoops, one more Command Z again I got the wrong tool selected, here we go, it remains Corbel, so you break with a master, you lose everything.
