Master Page Usage confusion

Hello all,

I just discovered four pages in a long document I published almost a
year ago that were missing appropriate headers. This happened because I
inadvertently had an appendix-related master page applied, rather than
Right/Left.

I'm not going to blame FrameMaker for my goof but I would like to know
if anyone else finds setting Master Page Usage to be very confusing?
Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem very "smart," meaning, I seem to
have to keep going back and re-setting usage as pages add. Especially I
find that when I apply a master page that changes the layout from
portrait to landscape or vice-versa, I have to keep re-selecting pages
that missed the conversion because the layout caused repagination.

Either way, it seems that the only way to be sure that master page usage
is correct is to check every single page.

Am I missing something simple? I hope I'm explaining myself
sufficiently.

Tim
