Hello Ace,
It is unclear whether you are using WSS or MOSS? If using MOSS, you can
inherit from the top level master page. If you are using WSS, the out of
the box functionality is that all sites utilize their own master page. You
can, however, create a site template that uses the master page you wish and
create all subsequent WSS sites from your template(s).
Hope this helps,
John Stover

Thanks for the reply.
I did not know that it works differently with WSS and MOSS. Yes, this
specific case was with WSS v3 for proofing but it will eventually be done in
MOSS. So it sounds like I can use one master page for all sites with MOSS
2007.
As with WSS v3, yes, that's what I did.... after making changes, save it as
a site template and create sub sites with the site template. But I was
concerned about future change requests and that's why I brought the question
to this group.
The bottom line is MOSS offers the concept of one master page for all sites
but with WSS, there is one master page per site, correct?

Hello Ace,
Correct. MOSS offers the ability to use one master page for top level and
all subsites. WSS does not.
