Syntax

Remarks

Master pages don't have a Master property. Any attempt to access the Master property of a master page results in a run-time error.

Example

This example adds a shape to the master page for the first page in the active publication.

Sub AddNewMasterPageShape() 
 With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Master.Shapes.AddShape _ 
 (Type:=msoShape5pointStar, Left:=512, _ 
 Top:=50, Width:=50, Height:=50) 
 .Fill.ForeColor.CMYK.SetCMYK Cyan:=255, _ 
 Magenta:=255, Yellow:=0, Black:=0 
 End With 
End Sub

The Master property can also be used to apply a master page to a page in a publication. The following example sets the master page of the first page of a publication to the master page of the second page in the publication. This example assumes that there are at least two pages and two master pages in the document.

ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Master = _ 
 ActiveDocument.Pages(2).Master
