InDesign How-to Video: Move Pages Between Documents
In this week’s InDesignSecrets video, Mike Rankin demonstrates how to move pages from one InDesign file to another. He looks at how master pages are handled during that process and he also shows how to simply move master pages between documents.

For the sake of completeness, there is another (not well known) way moving master pages between documents.
In the receiving document, from the Pages panel menu, choose Master Pages > Load Master Pages. Navigate to the donor document and when you select it, ALL the Master Pages will be added to the receiving document.
Great point. Thanks, Steve.
Thank you for this tip, it was exactly what I was searching for. It´s very useful when you build up a new template file with resources from other files, especially master pages.
I use “Load master pages”, the way Steve described, to update older files with changes in the layout, standard texts on title and backpage etc. I do not need to say that this way needs a consequent use of templates, masterpages and all kinds of styles to work properly.
