Then I add the 1 page start of chapter to start a new chapter. The chapter may end on a left or right page, it doesn't matter. I click the out port of the text frame of the start of chapter page, and shift-click the two page spread and the text auto flows into that creating pages as needed. Then I add the 2 page spread for the rest of the chapter contents. I start a chapter with the 1 page master. The 1 page master has two frames, top for chapter heading, bottom for beginning chapter text. I have a 2 page master for following pages of a chapter.
I have a 1 page master for the first page of chapters. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my initial question. Thanks for the help RE: Reshuffle facing pages apepp (TechnicalUser) 1 Aug 09 17:46 My question is, does InDesign allow you to "reflow" objects between pages of spreads so that they take into acount which way the page is facing? This also means the text frames do not fall inside the margins defined on the master pages for the chapter spreads. In other words, where they were closer to the outer edge to allow for a wider margin for the spine, they now are closer to the spine than the outer edge. Now I have run into a problem because I need to add a page to the end of a chapter, but when I do that the shuffle of the following pages puts the chapter text frames on the wrong side. Not sure.2) 2 page spreads for chapter text with the inside (spine) margins larger than outside margins.ģ) Single blank master pages for copyright, title, and other miscellaneous pages. Or perhaps you are using a plug-in that makes a Catalog panel. Now, Jessica, here’s the part of your question that I don’t understand: The Catalog panel? InDesign doesn’t have a Catalog panel. If I choose something from the Pages panel menu (like Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle) or from the Layout menu (such as Margins & Columns), it will affect pages 2 and 3 because that’s what is selected. If I use Edit > Paste right now, the object will be pasted on to page 4 or 5, because that’s what’s targeted.
However, pages 2/3 are selected because I clicked once on them and so the icons are highlighted. I know that because those page numbers are highlighted (in black).
In this case, I am viewing pages 4 and 5. (Same difference when clicking on a page icon, except that it selects vs. Click once on the number under a spread to select the whole spread, click twice on the numbers to select the spread, target the spread, and view the spread. This is another one of the mysteries of the Pages panel. Note that when I say “I selected them,” I mean that I clicked once on them. You can turn off this feature the same way. How did they get that way? I selected them and chose Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle from the Pages panel menu. The second spread (pages 2 and 3) are an island spread. An island spread also allows you to add pages to it to make 3- or more-page spreads ( see this post for more on that). These brackets indicate that a spread is an “island” that will not shuffle if the other pages before it get moved. I don’t recall ever seeing parentheses around the page numbers, but I have seen square brackets.

The Pages panel is chock full o’ mysteries, not the least of which is how it displays page numbers and such. If I open certain chapters, there are brackets/parenthesis around some of the page numbers in the Pages panel. I have multiple chapters to a book I am creating linked in the “Catalog” panel.
