Right. Nor will it if there has been put something extra into the page, like a text frame that has not been put there by the master page, like with some plugins that insert text frames for special use. These have to be deleted too. > If you have to have a custom master page, you might be able to make it > work using the Apply Master Pages feature. I'm not sure, since I haven't > used it.

Also (and this may be your problem here), take care to delete or change the paragraph that calls for the special master page to a regular one (like Body) the does no such special call. > > If you have FrameScript, a script could switch out the master pages. > > Third possibility: Put the back cover into its own one-page file.
