Maybe I need to create one, and if so, how?
Your coworker was on the right track, but it's not a marker. You can assign master pages to body pages that contain specific paragraph tags. You do that via a mapping table in the reference pages that lists the specified paragraph tags and the master pages they map to. If the mapping table doesn't already exist, Format > Page Layout > Apply Master Pages will create it. The mapping can apply the master page just to the body page on which the specified paragraph is found or to a range of pages (until a different paragraph from the mapping table is encountered). Look for "assigning master pages" in the help. Richard G. Combs Senior Technical Writer Polycom, Inc. richardDOTcombs AT polycomDOTcom 303-223-5111 ------ rgcombs AT gmailDOTcom 303-903-6372 ------
