Different Master Page for Startup Topic?

[dcole]

Is there a way to associate a different master page to the startup topic for CHM output? The footer that we use for all other topics is located in the master page; however, we would like to use a different and more simplified version of our footer in the startup topic. I have not been able to find a way to assign a different master page at the topic level as opposed to the whole project and don't see anything in the target that would help. Has anyone else had this problem/know if this is possible?

Thanks,
Dave

Yes, it's possible; this kb article explains how:

Hey Dave - I checked this article out and I can't find the "Unclassified" category underneath the HTML tag. Nor can I find the mc-master-page property anywhere. What am I missing here? Thanks!

Use the stylesheet editor in Advanced view - you won't see it in Simplified view.

Hey Dave... I was in Advanced view. In fact, here's a shot:

I don't have Flare at the moment (wife has run off with the laptop). I notice you are in the non-print medium. Should you be in default?

Greetings, Steve. It looks the same in default...

Instead of using Show: Alphabetical List, select Show: Property Groups - then you'll see the Unclassified group with the mc-master-page property.

Nailed it. THANKS!! That would be a good detail for the kb article.

Yeah, nice little tidbit to know. Thanks, Dave!
