•
To allow the creation of spreads of more than two pages in the entire document and to preserve those spreads
when you add, remove, or arrange preceding pages, deselect Allow Document Pages To Shuffle on the Pages panel
menu. InDesign will preserve spreads of more than two pages while letting two-page spreads repaginate normally.
2
Add pages to the selected spread either by using Insert Pages to insert a new page in the middle of a spread or by
dragging an existing page to the spread in the Pages panel. To drag an entire spread, drag its page numbers.
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.
Move or copy pages between documents
When you move or copy a page or spread from one document to another, all of the items on the page or spread,
including graphics, links, and text, are copied to the new document. Threaded text frames are also included, but text
that is threaded to pages outside the spread does not transfer. If the page or spread you are copying contains styles,
layers, or masters with the same names as their counterparts in the destination document, the destination
document’s settings are applied to the page or spread.
If you copy a page from a document that has a different size than the document you are copying to, it will be resized
to the dimensions of the destination.
If you want to move or copy a multiple-page spread, deselect Allow Document Pages To Shuffle in the destination
document to keep the spread together.
