    Default Is "master pages" something to expect be release by DP in the short term?

    Hi,

    By chance, does anyone know if functionality as Serif PagePlus "master pages" is something to expect be release by DP in the short term?

    Serif PagePlus master pages info:
    http://www.serif.com/appresources/pp...asterpages.htm
    http://www.serif.com/appresources/wp...ster_pages.htm

    Thanks for info!

    Master pages would be beneficial to both the vector and web side of things.

    No one knows--and Xara doesn't typically give out hints at new features--and even if someone knew, they couldn't say. You'll need to wait with the rest of us to find out what new features Xara will provide.

    I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

    It's not that we have not asked repeatedly for master pages.

    Still don't understand the need for masterpages. I must be thick

    For doing multi-page layouts with a consistent border or decoration, it's really useful. Combine with automatic page numbering for best effect.

    Why doesn't REPEAT ON ALL PAGES work for anyone? It's been in there since forever....

    It does work. It's a programmer's crutch around not providing master pages. Clever, yes. But not as useful as master pages.

    I also would prefer master pages.

    Hi Mike. Surely a master page/s is just the same as another layer over which to overlay the page content. Repeat on all Pages allows for an edit on one page to update all pages. Other than that what else can master pages achieve? I honestly can't see an advantage.

    "Repeat on all pages" is an interesting solution for the web site. But the print media have in at least even and odd pages. To say nothing of cover etc... Not suitable!
