Designer Guide: Set 'Master Page Starts On' in Section Options

In templates with facing pages, there are several options for which page a Section will start on. These options are set in the 'Starts on' pop-up menu in the Typefi Section Options.

In templates without facing pages, these options will all give the same result, so leaving them set to the default (Either Side) is fine.

Starts on Options

• Either Side: The first page of the section can start on either a Left or Right page and is determined by the last page of the previous section. For instance, if the previous section finishes on a Right page, then the section will start on a Left page.
• Right Side: The first page of the section must be a Right page, regardless of whether the previous section ends on a Left or Right page. The Left page of the master spread is not used. 
• Left Side: The first page of the section must be a Left page, regardless of whether the previous section ends on a Left or Right page. The Right page of the master spread is not used. 
• Either Side, Use All Pages: The first page of a section can start on either a Left or Right page depending on the last page of the previous section. Both the Left and Right page of the master spread must be used. This means that if the section starts on a Left page, the Right page will be added whether there is content for it or not (or vice versa).
• Right Side, Use All Pages: The first page of a section must be a Right page. Both Left and Right pages of the master spread must be used. This means that the Left Page will be inserted (after the Right Page) whether there is content for it or not.
• Left Side, Use All Pages: The first page of a section must be a Left page. Both Left and Right pages of the master spread must be used. This means that the Right Page will be inserted (after the Left Page) whether there is content for it or not. 

Additional notes on 'Use All Pages'

Left Side, Use All Pages would be used when the Section design uses an opener spread. This ensures that the opener spread design elements are used on both pages. Remember, if Left Side is used, the right Master page is not used, even if it has design elements on it. Instead, the next Master listed in the Section Options would be inserted.
