Change All doesn't change all : Adobe Pagemaker

This is a discussion on Change All doesn't change all within the Adobe Pagemaker forums in Adobe Tools category; I'm using PM 7.01a on a Windows XP machine. I'm trying to update the footer on a number of master pages in the same document. I edit one of the stories, select All Stories and Change All, I'm lucky if two of them get updated. The phrases are absolutely identical -- I know because when I edit one of the unchanged stories, the Find-Replace works perfectly. What can I do to resolve this problem?...

Default Change All doesn't change all

I'm using PM 7.01a on a Windows XP machine. I'm trying to update the footer on a number of master pages in the same document. I edit one of the stories, select All Stories and Change All, I'm lucky if two of them get updated.

It may be possible that the "same" content appears on the footer of each page, but not every page has Master Pages turned on. I have seen this before, where a combination of Master Pages & No Master Pages is used throughout a document, but the original document designer has tried to maintain consistency regardless (possibly due to inexperience with the program).

I would check to make sure that the offending pages (sounds like the majority of pages in your case) actually have Master Pages turned on!

Good luck.
