Master Page Setup - "First Page Special" plus Right/Left

[Mike]

If I understand your problem correctly, I think the solution is pretty
straight-forward.


   1. In the file, View Master Pages.
   2. Create a new Master Page format and name it something like First.
   3. Adjust the header/footers as needed (along with any other page layout
   changes).
   4. Go back to the View Body Pages for the file.
   5. Make sure the first page of the file is visible, then select Format >
   Page Layout > Master Page Usage.
   6. In the dialog, select your "First" page in the Custom field, and make
   sure Apply To is set to Current Page.
   7. Click Apply.
   8. Go back to your file and display page 2.
   9. In the Master Page Usage dialog, click Left/Right and the Apply to
   Even pages. Click Apply.
   10. Go back to your file and display page 3.
   11. In the Master Page Usage dialog, click Left/Right and the Apply To:
   Odd pages check box.
   12. In the Pages field, make sure you change the "from" page to the third
   page of your file. Then click Apply.

After completing this process, your file should have a custom page for only
the first page and then use the standard L/R pages for the rest of the pages
in the file.

Hope this helps.
