How to Override master page item on Master spread [JS CS5]

May 3, 2012 10:23 PM

Hi All,

 

There are ample supports(scripts) available on how to override master page item on a specific document page but my problem is, I've added new Master spread based on another Master spread where in newly added Master spread I need to override all Master page items.

 

pageItems[curPageItem].override(destinationPage)

 

works well if you need to override Master page items on document pages but what works for overriding the Master page items on Master page e.g.

 

pageItems[curPageItem].override(destinationMasterPage)

 

Thanks

Mac

    I assume you tried that and it didn't work?

    Comparable code worked for me (in CS4 -- the machine I had handy is one I use for supporting customers on older versions). Are you sure that your destinationMasterPage was a page and not a spread? That would cause a failure.

    Caught here..., I was passing master spread instead of master page.

    Code working fine now.

     

    pageItems[curPageItem].override(destinationMasterPage.pages.item(0))


    Many Thanks
