    Hi there,
    Thanks for the great tutorials, I have a “basic” question, how do I delete a page I created? I made a master page by mistake, and want to delete it.
    Thanks!

    It was actually a nice video but as a viewer, you were not allowed to possibly paused the video,possibly to do joltings, rewind or fast forward. Any breakup, you have to start from the beginning.
