When you create a master page, the footer element is created
automatically in the Master Page tab of the template editor. You can
use the palette to drag elements in to construct the layout and style
of your footer contained within the master page. Then, the master
page can be reused across templates.
Procedure
- From the Outline view, drag the master page into an element
in the template editor.
