Editing and Saving Master Pages in Publisher

I have a basic master page that keeps appearing in each new document (Master Page A).  It is not complete, so I want to edit it so I can save it and use it in all future documents. (I have a template, but I need a master page so I can insert it when I add new pages.)

Each time I create a new document and need to insert a page, Master Page A comes up.  I edit it to add the remaining items, but there is no Save button -- only a Close button.  I have tried creating a new master page (Master Page B), but there doesn't seem to be any way to save it.

As a result, with every Publisher document I create, I have to edit Master Page A.  How can I edit and save Master Page A or create and save Master Page B?

(I can't find any existing Help Document that explains how to do this, and I have looked a lot!)

Thanks.

Hi Lynn,

 

To save the custom templates, I would like to suggest you try the following steps:

  1. Launch Publisher>File>Options>Save.
  2. Enter a path as Default personal templates location and click OK to save. (In my test, I entered C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Custom Office Templates\).
  3. When you have edit a master page and want to save it, click File>Save as>choose the default personal templates location just entered>choose Publisher Template (*.pub)
  4. Click File>New>PERSONAL, you can choose the custom template you created.

 

Regards,

Zixuan

This didn't do anything for me.  I followed your instructions.  When I got to Step 4, there was no option for File>New>Personal.  So I saved it in the local directory as a template named Personal.  But I already have a template for this project.  That didn't do anything to give me the edited master page I'm looking for.  When I create a new document and insert a page -- Page Design -- Master Page is still the same old basic Master Page A.  I don't want to have to edit Master Page A for every project.  They all use the same design as the template.

Hi Lynn,

 

As for the fourth step, I mean that you may launch Publisher>File>New, you will see a PERSONAL tab like the picture below:
