To create a snippet, select one or more objects on a page or spread. Choose
File > Export, and then choose InDesign Snippet from the Save As Type
menu (Windows) or the Format menu (Mac OS). Choose the location of
the file, assign a name, and then click Save.

Double-click the name of the B-2-column Layout master in the Pages panel.
Notice how the new elements you just applied to the A-3-column Layout master
have been automatically applied to this child master.

Choose File > Save.
Applying master pages to document pages
Now that you have created all of the master pages, it's time to apply them to the pages in
the document. By default, all of the document pages are formatted with the A-3-column
Layout master. You will apply the B-2-column Layout master to several pages in the news-
letter, and then you'll apply the None master page to the cover page, which doesn't require
header or footer information and thus does not require a master page.
You can apply master pages to document pages by dragging master page icons onto docu-
ment page icons or by using an option in the Pages panel menu. In large documents, you
may find it easier to display the page icons horizontally in the Pages panel. To do this,
choose View Pages > Horizontally from the Pages panel menu.
1.
Double-click the name of the B-2-column Layout master in the Pages panel. Make
sure that all master pages and document pages are visible in the panel.
2.
Drag the left page icon of the B-2-column Layout master onto the icon of docu-
ment page 4. When page 4 is displayed with a black border, indicating it's the page
to which the selected master will be applied, release the mouse button.
