Glossary of Page Terms As you work with pages and the Pages palette, it helps if you understand the following: Document pages: The main pages of your document. These are the pages that contain your project. Items that are on the document pages are document page items. Master pages: The pages that contain elements that are repeated on all the document pages. Items that are on the master pages are called master page items. Local Overrides: Normally you cannot select or modify master page items. However, if you apply a local override to the master page items on a specific document page, they can be modified on the document page.
