Changing inheritance settings for chapters, sections and pages

With the inheritance capabilities, objects you add directly to the main title will appear on every page of your title. Furthermore, any objects added directly to a chapter will appear on every page in that chapter including pages that are inside of a section within the chapter. Objects added directly to a section will appear on every page in that section and objects added directly to a page will appear only on that page.

The inherit settings are available within all chapter, section and page properties. If the object is excluded within the properties of a chapter, it will not appear on any page within that chapter. If the object is excluded within the properties of a section, it will not appear on any page within that section, and if the object is excluded within the properties of a page, then the object will be excluded from that page.

To exclude an inherited object:

In the Title Explorer, double-click the chapter , section , or page graphic of the chapter, section or page you want to change. Alternatively, you can select the appropriate graphic, right-click, and select Properties. The Properties ribbon is displayed.
Click Inherit from the Inherit Settings group. The Inheritance Settings window opens.

ALL objects from parents	Places all objects within the Inherited list. These objects will continue to appear throughout your chapter, section , or page.
NO objects from parents	Places all objects within the Excluded list. These objects will not appear within the chapter, section, or page.
