When you apply a master page
to a document page, all the elements on the master page are attached and
displayed on the document page. When you only want a selected number of
elements from the master page on a document page, you can override or
detach the elements you want. Overriding a master puts a copy of the
master element on the document page and keeps the link, where you can
make changes to it. The changes made on the document page don’t affect
the master; however, any changes to the same element on the master
(separate from the document page) still appear from the master on the
document page. Detaching a master overrides a master element and removes
the link. Instead of overriding or detaching master elements, you have
the option of hiding them
