[softwarelist] Re: OPro master pages and DDL import

You can save the entire document as DDL - in that case it is the entire document and all that you can do is reload it, and bugs apart get something identical to what you set off with.
There is nothing about this that would suggest you could start dropping it into another document and getting arbitrary things to change.
Or you can save text stories as DDL - in that case you're going to lose everything except the text and styles/effects, but you should be able to reload them into another document with different frames etc.
The game you could play is to save the whole document as DDL, edit the DDL in a text editor (work out where the master page size is) and then reload.
I'll grant you that sometimes the system of different master pages for different chapters is not as easy as it could be. Like so much it was designed with good intentions. However once you're used to Impression it doesn't look particularly friendly. I did once work out how to change to having the same master page for more than one chapter, but like so much else this is unlikely to ever be done.
