This example adds a shape to the master page for the first page in the active publication.

Sub AddNewMasterPageShape()
    With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Master.Shapes.AddShape _
            (Type:=msoShape5pointStar, Left:=512, _
            Top:=50, Width:=50, Height:=50)
        .Fill.ForeColor.CMYK.SetCMYK Cyan:=255, _
            Magenta:=255, Yellow:=0, Black:=0
    End With
End Sub

The Master property can also be used to apply a master page to a page in a publication. The following example sets the master page of the first page of a publication to the master page of the second page in the publication. This example assumes that there are at least two pages and two master pages in the document.

ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Master = _
    ActiveDocument.Pages(2).Master
