Hi Martin,

Master Pages are not seen unless they're applied. I am guessing that you have made new Master Pages for these features.
What you might do is to first create a blank Master Page if none of yours are blank. The "Normal" Master Page that is automatically applied to pages starts out blank.
Once you have a blank Master Page, apply it (Page > Apply Master Page) to as many pages as you like. What you might do afterward is to save this blanked Master Page version of your document under another name to leave the original intact.
