Re: Master pages' Room for Side Heads not being honoured

[Theresa de Valence]

Mark,

I'm not sure I follow exactly what's going on, but I have learned this 
about Master Pages.
-ALL of the pages should exist in one master file, i.e. have the same 
list of Master Pages.
-You can control which page uses which master file by use of a single 
paragraph tag (IIRC) at the top of the page. (Make it really small)
-On the references page, build a table which tells which paragraph tag 
calls which master page


Hope this helps,
Theresa

I've seen this behavior as well. The 'Room for sideheads' property is not 
recognized as an override of the master page. 
I think the reason is that 'Room for sideheads' is considered a property of the 
text flow, and not of the individual master page. 
Try setting the flow tag of your index pages to be different from the flow tag 
of the chapters.
