Layout
• To maintain the size of the Masters section and resize only the Pages section, choose Masters Fixed.
Target or select a page or spread
You either select or target pages or spreads, depending on the task you are performing. Some commands affect the
currently selected page or spread, while others affect the target page or spread. For example, you can drag ruler guides
only to the target page or spread, but page-related commands, such as Duplicate Spread or Delete Page, affect the page
or spread selected in the Pages panel. Targeting makes a page or spread active and is helpful when, for example, several
spreads are visible in the document window and you want to paste an object onto a specific spread.
❖ In the Pages panel:
• To both target and select a page or spread, double-click its icon or the page numbers under the icon. If the page or
spread is not visible in the document window, it shifts into view.
You can also both target and select a page or spread by clicking a page, any object on the page, or its pasteboard in the
document window.
The vertical ruler is dimmed alongside all but the targeted page or spread.
• To select a page, click its icon. (Don’t double-click unless you want to select it and move it into view.)
• To select a spread, click the page numbers under the spread icon.
Note: Some spread options, such as those in the Pages panel menu, are available only when an entire spread is selected.
Page 1 is targeted and page 5 is selected (left), and page 1 is targeted and entire spread is selected (right).
Add new pages to a document
❖ Do any of the following:
• To add a page after the active page or spread, click the New Page button in the Pages panel or choose Layout >
Pages > Add Page. The new page uses the same master as the existing active page.
• To add multiple pages to the end of the document, choose File > Document Setup. In the Document Setup dialog
box, specify the total number of pages for the document. InDesign adds pages after the last page or spread.
• To add pages and specify the document master, choose Insert Pages from the Pages panel menu or choose Layout >
Pages
> Insert Pages. Choose where the pages will be added and select a master to apply.
Move, duplicate, and delete pages and spreads
You can use the Pages panel to freely arrange, duplicate, and recombine pages and spreads. Keep the following
guidelines in mind when adding, arranging, duplicating, or removing pages within a document:
• InDesign preserves the threads between text frames.
• InDesign redistributes pages according to how the Allow Document Pages To Shuffle command is set.
• An object that spans multiple pages stays with the page on which the object’s bounding box covers the most area.
