Adding a page to a spread using the Pages panel

Note: You can include up to ten pages in a spread. When you have reached the limit, the black vertical bar will not appear.

Redistribute pages

You can redistribute a spread’s pages to match the Facing Pages setting in the File

> Document Setup dialog box.

Do either of the following:

If an individual spread has been allowed to shuffle, select the spread, and choose Allow Selected Spread To Shuffle
in the Pages panel menu to select it.

If document pages have been allowed to shuffle and you added pages to a spread, choose Allow Document Pages
To Shuffle from the Pages panel menu to select it. Click No to redistribute pages. If you click Yes to maintain the
multiple-page spreads, brackets surround the numbers on those spreads in the Pages panel, indicating that those
spreads are not allowed to shuffle.

Start a document with a two-page spread

Instead of beginning the document with a single page, you can begin your document with a two-page spread.

1 Do either of the following actions:

To create a document, choose File > New Document.

To edit an existing document, choose File > Document Setup.

2 For Start Page #, specify an even number, such as 2, and then click OK.

Rotate the spread view

In some instances, you need to edit rotated content. Instead of turning your head sideways to look at the rotated
content, you can rotate the spread view. This option is especially useful for working on rotated calendars and tables.

Rotating the spread view does not affect printing or output.
