Here we are where we left off with the Master Page. All these items are on the Master Page. I've just made the numbers a little bit smaller and added these two sidebars. You'll see the reason for them as we move along here. What I'm going to talk about is overriding the Master Pages, so let me switch up to the first page here. Now if this were a menu you probably wouldn't want the page numbering and the sidebar and everything. On the front page you'd want a nice fancy cover so you probably wouldn't want any of the Master Page items, so let's go over to our Pages Panel and the simplest way to get rid of everything is to use this page None. None isn't something you create, None is just a page that's in every document you open under the Master Pages section and it just says don't put any Master Pages on this page. So, I'll just drag it onto the icon for the first page and there it is. It's gone. If you need to get it back you can come over to your Master Pages here and in this case I'd select the right-hand page, just drag it back there, put it back on, but I do want rid of it so I'm just going to drag the blank one over there. Now let's move to the next Spread here and here you can see I've set up these sidebars. Master Page items, I can't select them here, but what I want to put in is Lunch Menu, Dinner Menu, whatever, so I want these on the Master Page because that way I can keep the font the size of the frame that they're in exact but then just change the text and maybe the color, so I can lift these from the Master page using the Shortcut key. I'll close this out for the time being. So what I'm going to do is hold down the Cmd-Shift or Ctrl-Shift and click on this frame. Now you can see this is a text frame. It's got color in it and it's got text and there I can just double-click here and type in Lunch, Lunch Menu, like that, and then I'll come back, select the frame, choose Color and I'll choose this olive color here, come over to the other side, hold down Ctrl-Shift or Cmd-Shift, double-click, type in Lunch, like that, come back here and then change the color to the olive color and all the lunch items can be here. Then mov down to the next page here, do the same again, Ctrl-Shift, Cmd-Shift, click on it, double-click and we can call this Dinner, do the same on the other side, Dinner and there we have different colored sidebars on each side and different text in it. But because we set it up in the Master Page we know everything's going to be consistent and we have now overridden it. So what happens if you have overridden something like this and you want to come back and you say, you know what, I really did want the Master Page here. Well, you can reapply it. So let's go up to our Pages Panel here and I can come up to my Master Page and I'll just drag it onto this one and Reapply it. But nothing seemed to happen here. The thing to remember is that when you do that Cmd-Shift, Ctrl-Shift click on an item you're separating it from the Master Page so it's now just an item on this page. So if I were to take this out of the way you can see underneath where the Master Page item that I can't select on at the moment is there. So bear that in mind if you do revert back to a Master Page that any item that you have lifted from it previously is still going to be on this particular page and you may need to delete it. Now, in the Advanced tutorial we get into some other Master Page items like Multiple Master Page items and how they work with Layers and then the Page Numbering that I mentioned earlier where we can set up sections, especially good for long documents, but you've got the basics of Master Pages and Pages at the moment and that should put you in good stead till you get more familiar with InDesign.
