Inserting a same marker in all files of a book

[de Rouck, Tom (Gent)]

Hi Ricard, 

Thanks for this idea, it's great but apparently it does not work for my application.
The 'PageStyle' marker is a marker recognised by ePublisher to apply a specific layout (override to the standard layout).
When I put it on the Master pages, ePublisher does not seem to recognize it...

Thanks anyway!

Kind regards, 
Tom

Well, once again, I probably don't understand the context... (It would help to know what the purpose of the PageStyle marker, what you're trying to accomplish, and why the kinds of pgfs in the main text flow
matter.) 

But what the heck, I'll jump in anyway. 

Assuming that the marker can live in a background text frame (like the header or footer), put it on the master pages of one of the files. Then import page layouts from that file to the other files in the book. 

HTH!
