Master page edit

  1. I decided to try using a template for a book I am writing, but wanted to change the background colour of the master page provided. Instructions say: Click  in the toolbar, then choose Edit Master Pages.

There is no 'edit Master pages' choice .....


I am using Pages 10.3.9 with Big Sur on my MacBook Air

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi notlimey,


It will help us to help you if you tell us what template you used.

In Pages, there are Word Processing templates and Page Layout templates.


For example,

Template Chooser > Books > Books - Portrait > Blank Book

is a Word Processing template and does not have Master Pages.



Template Chooser > Books > Books - Landscape > Blank Book

is a Page Layout template and does have Master Pages.



More information may lead to a solution 😉.


Regards,

Ian.
