The problem here is
that to affect changes on the highest level, all the templates need to be changed. Another way??”a better
way??”is to use nested templates.
Nested templates allow template-based documents to have numerous tiers of locked regions. With nested
templates, the magazine publisher in our example could make a change to just the master template and the
modifications would ripple through all the other magazine-specific templates and on down to their related
pages. Best of all, there??™s no real limit on nesting templates: Your template-based files can be as deeply
nested as you need them to be.

Here??™s an overview of how nested templates work:
n A new page based on the master template is created and saved as a template; this new document
is the nested template.
n Within the editable areas originally set up in the master template, new editable areas are placed.
All areas not designated as editable in the nested template are locked.
n A new document is created, based on the nested template. The only editable areas are those
inserted in the nested template.
n When modifications are made to the nested template, the changes are reflected in the pages based
on that template. When modifications are made to the master template, the changes are applied to
both the nested template and to documents based on the nested template.
