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.
