Note: it is possible for objects to overlap the pages of a spread (i.e. on pages 1 and 2
in the illustration above) but not over separate pages or spreads (i.e. 1 and 3; if you
did want to do this, you would need to copy the object from page1 and paste it on to
page 3 so that it appears there as well).
The current page
If you click a page in a multi-page document it will become the current page.
The current page is relevant when inserting, duplicating, or moving pages as
described in the following sections.
The current page in the document is shown by indicators on the page’s
corners.
Adding page numbers
To insert page numbers into your document - use the TEXT TOOL to click in your
document page at the place you want the page number to appear. Right click and
select "Insert". Then choose from one of the available number formats. As you add
pages to your document the page numbers will update incrementally.
It’s common to place a page number on every page in a document. It’s a good idea to
make this page number a Repeating Object (on page 129), so you can move or
change the style of the n
umber on one page and have those changes applied to all
pages automatically. After inserting the page number on one page, select it using the
SELECTOR TOOL and then select "Arrange" > "Repeat on all pages", to place it in the
same position on all pages. You can still delete the number from some pages if you
don’t want the number to appear on every page.
Inserting pages into your document
Right click a page and choose NEW PAGE or NEW DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD. A new blank
page is inserted after the page.
or
Right click a page and choose
DUPLICATE CURRENT PAGE or DUPLICATE CURRENT
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
