Rename a master page

If you are using more than one master page in a publication, you may wish to more clearly identify how each master page will be used by giving it a unique page ID or description. Follow these steps to change the page ID or description of a master page.

1. On the View menu, click Master Page.
2. In the Edit Master Pages task pane, click the arrow next to the master page you want to rename, and then click Rename.
3. In the Rename Master Page dialog box, do either of the following:
   • In the Page ID (1 character) box, type a single-character identifier for your new master page. This can be any single Unicode character.
   • In the Description box, type a brief description of your new master page.

     Note  Only 40 characters will display in the Edit Master Pages task pane.

4. Click OK.
