importing master pages, but not getting Room for Sideheads (FM12 unst)

[Ed Nodland]

1) I opened my FM file with Room for Side Heads select,
2) I removed the sideheads option
3) The sidebar was gone
4) I imported my template (sidebar did not return)
5) Applied masterpages (sidebar did not return)
6) Manually selected Room for Side Heads (sidebar returned)

Maybe https://forums.adobe.com/message/4209683 will help.  It says, "Sideheads
are a flow property (effectively a document level property, not any
individual text frame). If they were enabled in the MasterPage, but not
showing on the Body pages, then the Body pages had an override (i.e. it was
turned off there)."
