masterPage(master, [pageIndex])
Sets a master page to be the active page. This can be used to set up and arrange page items on master pages, so they appear throughout the entire document.
The master parameter describes the master spread that contains the master page. It can be given as a master spread object or as a string. If a string is used, it can either hold the master page prefix (e.g “A”, “B”) or the full name including the prefix (e.g “A-Master”, “B-Master”). The latter is useful, if there are several masters using the same prefix.
As master pages cannot directly be targeted by number, the optional pageIndex parameter can be used to specify which master page of the given master spread should be set as the active page, in case there are several pages on the master spread. Counting starts from 0, beginning from the leftmost page. If the pageIndex parameter is not given, the first page of the master spread is returned.
