Insert 1-page on 2-page spread document


Recommended Posts

Large document with a standard 2-page spread. I decided to add a single page to the document just after a verso (left) page. This moves all the following pages down to different positions (recto becomes verso and vice versa, etc.). In the process, the following happened (again - reported in Beta too). The Master pages have a left-hand section name, a right-hand section name, and a left-hand and a right-hand page numbers (so the Master shows that data at the extreme left and right of the individual pages in the spreads, normally). This is standard practice for many book types - keeping that information away from the spine area.

After adding that single page, most of the following pages switch the side of the page the Master A affected so instead of being on the left, the left-hand page had data near the middle of the spread at the spine. And vice versa for right-hand pages - all information at the center by the spine now. It's fairly easy to reapply the Masters and all is well again. It would be ideal if the s/w did that automatically.

The next thing that happened after adding that single page is that some (not all) of the background images (all of them full page arranged at the Back) were sometimes pulled to the "Front" (Arrangement...) instead of being at the "Back." So the Master Page Section Names and Page Numbers became invisible (hidden behind the image). Again, fairly simple to click each and push them to the Back again but easy to miss that unexpected change.

Finally, the last page in the sequence lost its Section name (just vanished from the Section editor so I had to manually enter it in again).

The unintended moving of background images forward can also happen if 2 pages are inserted after a recto page in a 2-page spread. It seems random and not every following page exhibits the image problem.

However, this is a consistent and repeatable problem that has always made these unwanted changes in the past. You can use my previously uploaded "large" document for the testing - it's what I'm working on.
