    Drop shadow from one master appearing on a page with a different master CS5

    E Diane King Community Member

      I have a series of curriculum books that make use of two different page styles controlled by two masters. On occasion in the books, the two masters appear side by side in a spread. Both masters contain similar background graphics but one has more side margin than the other.  In the instance where the side margin appears on the left hand page, the drop shadow from a background element on the full page master appears on the bigger margin page. The actual object that has the shadow is not there, but the shadow is. This only happens when the margin is on the left; the shadow does not appear when the masters are side by side in a spread and the wide margin is on the right.  See attached image.

      I can split the pages apart and the shadow goes away, but this gets to be a pain when text reflows and I have to change the pages around.  Any idea how I can keep this ghosted effect from appearing where it isn't supposed to be?

       

      I'm on CS5 on an Intel Mac running Leopard.

       

      Thanks.
