About pages and spreads

Pages and spreads

At document setup, you can create pages for your document. Pages can use a portrait or landscape orientation.

Pages can be presented individually or, by enabling the Facing pages option, arranged into spreads.

Using facing pages means you'll be working with left (verso) and right (recto) pages displayed at the same time, e.g. a gatefold center spread of a magazine.

Facing pages can be arranged vertically or horizontally.

To use spreads in your publication:

On the Document menu, select Document Setup.
On the dialog that appears:
1. In the Model section, ensure Facing pages is enabled.
2. Select OK.

To alter the orientation of pages:

When creating a document: Above the list of presets on the New Document dialog, select Portrait or Landscape orientation.
In an existing document: On the Document menu, select Document Setup. In the Dimensions section of the dialog that appears, select Portrait or Landscape orientation.

To edit spread properties:

On the Pages panel, tap More.
On the dialog that appears, select Whole Document, Selected Masters or Selected Spreads
(Optional) For selected masters/spreads, tap the thumbnails of the pages whose properties you wish to edit.
On the right, modify the dimensions, orientation, or margins as needed.
Select OK.

To alter the arrangement of pages in spreads:

On the Document menu, select Document Setup.
In the Model section of the dialog that appears, set Arrange to Horizontally or Vertically.
