About pages and spreads
When you select the Facing Pages option in the File > Document Setup dialog box, document pages are arranged in
spreads. A spread is a set of pages viewed together, such as the two pages visible whenever you open a book or magazine.
Every InDesign spread includes its own pasteboard, which is an area outside a page where you can store objects that
aren’t yet positioned on a page. Each spread’s pasteboard provides space to accommodate objects that bleed, or extend
past the edge of a page.
A Page icons B Page with master “A” applied C Selected spread
When you set the Binding option to Right To Left in the Document Setup dialog box, numbers are attached to the page
icons from right to left in the Pages panel.
In a long document, you can move to a page quickly by choosing Layout > Go To Page.
Change the page and spread display
The Pages panel provides information about and control over pages, spreads, and masters (pages or spreads that
automatically format other pages or spreads). By default, the Pages panel displays thumbnail representations of each
page’s content.
