If you ever have the need to a document page into a master page, you can do so easily, by either of these methods:
1. Select the document page in the Pages panel, and choose Master Pages > Save As Master from the panel menu.
2. Select the document page in the Pages panel and drag and drop it into the master pages area.
Note: If you’re working in a document with facing pages, be sure to select the whole spread of document pages. For example, if you use method 2, drag from the page numbers, so you get the whole spread.
If you try to drag just one page from the spread, it won’t work.
Also: If the document page was based on an existing master page, the new master will also be based on that master.
Great to find good and much needed advice re InDesign here. Thanks.
