Use the Page & Spread Inspector to add new pages/spreads to a document, or duplicate, reorder or remove existing pages/spreads. Alternatively, use the Thumbnails window, main menu (Edit > Page/Spread), or contextual menu (with no current selection) to perform all of these actions.
NOTE: In a document set up for spread editing the pages are displayed as 'spreads'. The first spread is a single page. From page two onwards the pages are displayed as two page spreads, with facing pages displayed next to each other. The last spread may contain one or two pages.
IMPORTANT: The Page & Spread Inspector displays and behaves differently depending on whether the document has been set up to edit single pages or two page spreads.
Each document window holds the notion of a 'current page'. Whenever you click in the document window main view, the current page is set. If spread editing, a 'current spread' is also set. The current page (or spread) number is displayed on the Page & Spread Inspector and the current page number is displayed on the document window status bar. The current page is also set when using the page navigation controls or by clicking a page on the Thumbnails window.
To reorder a page (or spread), make it the current page and click the Move Up/Down buttons. Each click moves the page/spread up or down one place, and its new position in the document is displayed at the top of the inspector.
To duplicate a page (or spread), make it the current page and click the Duplicate button. The new duplicate copy will be added immediately after the current page/spread and will be given the current page focus.
NOTE: The Move Up/Down and Duplicate buttons will be disabled when the corresponding actions aren't allowed. For example, it's not permitted to move or duplicate the first or last single pages in a spread edit document.
The Page & Spread Inspector also includes page numbering controls, which are described here:
On the Add pop-up list select where to add new pages - the options (as shown) are:
just before the current page
just after the current page
at the end of the document
Input the number of new pages to add.
Click the Add button to add the new pages.
On the Add pop-up list select where to add new spreads - the options (as shown) are:
just before the current spread
just after the current spread
at the end of the document (adding a two page spread)
at the end of the document (adding a single left page)
at the end of the document (adding a single right page to an existing single left page)
Input the number of new spreads to add (if applicable).
Click the Add button to add the new spreads.
Inserting new pages/spreads before the existing single page one.
Inserting new single pages between existing spreads. This isn't allowed because existing facing pages must always remain facing each other.
Inserting new spreads after a last single page that's on the left.
On the Remove pop-up list select which pages to remove - the options (as shown) are:
the current page
all pages except for the first
all pages within a specified range
If deleting a range, input the page numbers of the first and last.
Click the Remove button to delete the pages.
Deleting all of the pages is not allowed. At least one page must remain.
On the Remove pop-up list select which spreads to remove - the options (as shown) are:
the current spread (or option changes to current single page when the last single page is selected)
all spreads except for the first single page
all spreads within a specified range
the last single page (option disabled if there isn't one)
the right page from the last spread (option disabled when the last spread already has a single page only)
If deleting a range, input the spread numbers of the first and last.
Click the Remove button to delete the pages/spreads.
The first single page must always remain and deleting it is not allowed.
