If you disable the page shuffle command, you can move a page exactly where you want it.
Let’s say you are setting up a magazine and want to add a foldout. The more common usage is non-traditional spreads. This allows you to manage the pages or the spreads manually. This behavior is what InDesign means by allowing pages or spreads to shuffle- it adjusts or shuffles the pages/spreads for you.īut what if you want non-traditional page numbers, or non-traditional spreads? Then you have to disable one or both of the commands. Throughout a reorganization, odd-numbered pages always appear on the right, and even-numbered pages always appear on the left. You can also drag/drop a selected page or spread, and the existing pages/spreads will again shuffle automatically to accommodate the edit. If you add a new page in the middle, the existing pages/spreads will shuffle automatically to accommodate the new page. And in a double-sided document, page 1 will appear alone as a right page, followed by pages 2–3, 4–5, etc. This means that you will have traditional page numbers-where odd-numbered pages are shown on the right side of a spread, and even pages appear on the left.
In a new, default InDesign document, both commands are enabled in the Pages panel menu.
When the commands are disabled, you can manually manage, or shuffle, the pages and spreads yourself. TL DR When both commands are enabled, InDesign manages, or shuffles, the pages and spreads for you. This must rank as the number one most confusing feature in InDesign, because it does the opposite of what most people expect it to do.
