Control spread pagination
Most
documents use two-page spreads exclusively. When you add or remove pages
before a spread, the pages shuffle by default. However, you may
want to keep certain pages in a spread together. For example, you
can create gatefold or accordion foldouts by creating a multiple-page
spread (also called an island spread) and adding
pages to it. By not allowing pages to shuffle, you can ensure that
pages are kept in the same spread.
 Pages panel - A.
- One-page spread
- B.
- Four-page
spread, identified by brackets around page numbers
- C.
- Entire two-page
spread selected
Create a multiple-page spread- Do
one of the following:
To keep a single spread together, select
a spread in the Pages panel, and then deselect Allow Selected Spread
To Shuffle in the Pages panel menu. You can identify an
island spread in the Pages panel by the brackets around its page numbers.
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.
- 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 pagesYou 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 spreadInstead of beginning the document with a right-facing
(recto) page, you can delete the first page and begin your document
with a left-facing (verso) page that’s part of a spread.
Important: Because of the settings that make it necessary
to keep a left-facing page as the starting page, it can be difficult
to insert spreads into a document when following this method. To
avoid this difficulty, it is best to work in the document with a
right-facing page starting page (which should be left blank). When
you have inserted all of the pages needed in the document, delete
the first page by following the steps below.
- Make sure page 1 of the document is blank.
- Choose File > Document Setup. Be sure the
document contains at least three pages and that the Facing Pages
option is selected. Click OK.
- In the Pages panel, select all the pages except page
1. (The easiest way to do this is to select page 2 and then Shift-select
the last page of the document.)
- In the Pages panel menu, deselect Allow Selected Spread
To Shuffle.
- Select page 1. In the Pages panel menu, choose Delete
Spread.
 To add a spread to a document that
starts on a left-facing page, first make sure Allow Selected Spread
To Shuffle is deselected and Allow Document Pages To Shuffle is
selected. Then, insert three pages, and delete the extra page.
