I have FM 9, but never added 11x17 as a master page. When I used 7.2 I always made a file called Chapter 2 11x17 and created the master page for it. Once I have the file done than I add it to the book and set page numbers so the number correctly. All seems to work fine.

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.
