Re: Inserting pages (with master page assignments)?

[Bart Windrum <bart.windrum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thx, Ann; I licensed 3 of his other FM plugins but not MP due to what I
described as the rule-based approach. Too abstract, left-brained, and
ultimately, in this case, cumbersome. I need a KISS solution, a la XPress,
which I hope Adobe might GUI into the app next release (Master Page
palette).
