Using InDesign Manual 2025

Pages palette The Pages palette provides information about pages, spreads and Parent Pages. In the Pages palette, page icons can be clicked on to navigate the pages. Your Parent Pages are also accessible from the Pages palette. If you create multiple masters, you can drag the Parent Page icon onto a page icon to apply that master to that page. Starting from a new spread A new spread is the starting point for a yearbook design. It contains information necessary for correctly creating your page files, including bleed bars around the edge of your page, color information, job number and school name. You should always create pages using a new spread or you run the risk of setting up your page incorrectly. You can open a new spread in InDesign by clicking the New Spread button on the Control Center. Changing page numbers As you read in Lesson 1, every new spread

opens with the default page numbers 2-3. If you do not change the page numbers, it can cause confusion and mix-ups when pages are received by Walsworth. When you open a new spread, the Page Range dialog will open. Choose your starting page and

your ending page will auto fill to make a double-page spread. You can also uncheck the Maintain Document Length box and enter a custom start and end page to make the document bigger. At any time, you can also get to the dialog by clicking the Page Range button on the Control Center. Color information

The cost of printing your yearbook has a lot to do with how much color you use, where you use it, and when you submit it. You should plan color usage with your Walsworth Yearbooks sales representative before you start working on your yearbook. Mark your color pages clearly on your ladder and make sure you refer to it as your pages are created, so you do not incorrectly specify color information on your pages.
