Arranging Pages

Once you have begun working on a publication, you may decide that the number of pages originally assigned to the document is either not enough, too many, or in the wrong order. You can adjust the number of pages by inserting or removing pages and rearrange content by changing the page order.

Rearranging Page Order

After reviewing the content of your publication, you may decide that a different order is appropriate. One option for doing this is by rearranging the order of the pages. When you change the order of pages within your publication, automated elements such as jump lines and page numbers are automatically updated. The following options can be used with an individual page or a pair of pages (two-page spread).

Rearranging Single Pages: Drag and Drop

Drag and drop is a quick way to rearrange page order.

In the Page Sorter toolbar, click and drag the page(s) to its new position
A page icon and black arrow indicate where the new page will be located.
Release the mouse button

Rearranging Single Pages: Dialog Box

In the Page Sorter toolbar, right-click on the page you want to move » select Move Page
The Move Page dialog box appears.
Select a page adjacent to the final desired location of the page being moved
Indicate whether you want the page that is being moved to appear before or after the selected page
EXAMPLE: If you are moving page four to the position of page three, select after and then select page two from the This page list.
