I asked the same question recently and was told it can’t be done – changing all Master Pages to the new page size is the appropriate behavior. The suggested workaround was to generate a book and create a new file containing the different page size, and modifying page numbering etc. to create continuity across the book.
If David Spreadbury’s suggestion works then that renders the advice I got incorrect. Tim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alison Craig Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book This is a question for a fellow tech writer who can be reached at "karlmeinert at hotmail dot com" if you want to talk to him directly. He is running Windows 7 with FM9 p230 (but will be updating his patches shortly). Karl says; "Basically I want to have a graphic spanning a 2-page spread (left page - right page) within a chapter. When I tried making a master page 11x17, it applied to all master pages. Same when trying to edit a single body page. I'm not sure how relevant this is but I had to reinstall FM and disable the "PDF creation" install option because it would not work with this system. " His first e-mail to me also said: "I'm thinking of adding an 11x17 page in my book to display a screenshot with many callouts, but i can't figure out how to apply this page formatting to only one "page". The intent would be to have the page span page 2 and 3 of the chapter. Master pages doesn't like the idea much." If anyone has any suggestions for him (I am anything but a Master Pages expert), he would appreciate the help.
