Question

example indesign
Hi. I am designing an 80 pages report. It contains a a 'ticker' on the bottom of every page, sort of like a stock ticker you see on TV. Mine contains textual quotes instead of numbers though. Is their a way to insert all quotes at once, and let them automatically spread trough the whole report. It's quite a job to do every page by hand. I figure I can do something with connecting text boxes, but don't know how to do this on the master page. Of course, the 'ticker' is created on the master page. Thanks for helping me out! See the image for further explanation. Help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
hey.

Use your master pages.
look at the bottom of your screen, left, and you will see a number, click the arrow next to it and choose master.

Whatever you put on these two pages will be on all of the pages. Left page is for odd numbered pages, right page is for the even numbered pages.
