Jump to a Master Page
While it's not obvious, you can use the Go to Page dialog to go directly to a master page.
If you work on long documents you’re probably aware of the Layout > Go to Page command (cmd/ctrl+j). If you’re not, you should be. It’s a simple way to jump directly from one page to another.
From there you can scroll through or type the number of the page you want to jump to and hit okay or enter and you’re there. But what if you have long document with a lot of masters? The Go to Page dialog only shows document page numbers.
So what’s an user with a large document and a plethora of master pages to do? Well you could use the pages panel or you could use the cmd/ctrl+j command and just type the letter prefix that you assigned to the master. While it’s completely hidden, once you do that the dialog will switch and allow you to scroll through the master pages or type the prefixes to just jump straight to the master.
