InDesign CS Tips: Working with Pages

Creating a document in Adobe InDesign isn't that dissimilar from doing so in other page-layout applications. But InDesign differs somewhat in how you add, remove, rearrange, and number pages. Here, from "Adobe InDesign CS Bible," is a primer on working with document pages.

Anyone who's worked on setting up a new publication knows the fluid nature of pages. And while we would never advocate randomly reshuffling pages during production, we also know that during the initial design process, document structure occasionally does change. Pages must be moved, reordered, renumbered, and placed into cohesive sections.

Adobe InDesign's approach to working with these fundamental page parameters is very similar to that of other page-layout programs yet different enough to warrant this primer on how to work with multi-page documents in InDesign.

In this excerpt from "Adobe InDesign CS Bible," you'll see how to apply numbering to sections, add pages to a document, move through pages using the Navigator pane, and more.

Good Article

Thanks for the InDesign pages information and the small PDF size. InDesign is the NEW layout king. Try it and you will never want to go back to Quark.

Ironic that this document was made in quark.

I haven't read the article yet.
The first line stopped me in my tracks.
The file name in the crop area shows the InDesign Bible was made in Quark!!
That's hilarious.
