Working with Pages 35
You never set the size of your small
publication, instead you control the
layout and gap size within the set
publication size.
Large
As for Small. Tile Overlap controls the how much
printed pages overlap when output to standard
printers.
Folded
Select a folding method from the list, then choose
Width/Height for your publication size.
Facing pages
You can set up your regular publication or booklet so that the PagePlus window
displays pages either singly or in pairs—as two facing pages side by side. You'll
need facing pages if you're creating a publication where you need to see both the
left-hand (verso) and right-hand (recto) pages, or one that employs double-page
spreads where a headline or other element needs to run from the left-hand page
to the right-hand page.
If you set up a publication to use facing pages, you can specify either a single or
dual master page. A single master page is (as the name implies) a single page; a
dual master page is a spread with both a left- and right-page component,
allowing you to run elements across the spread in the background of the
publication, or position left-side page numbers and right-side page numbers at
opposite corners. The Pages tab shows single master pages with a standard page
thumbnail, and dual master pages with a split-page thumbnail.
To set up facing pages:
1. In the Page Setup dialog, check Facing Pages.
2. If you plan to use background elements that span a double-page
spread, select Dual master pages. This will let you define master
pages with paired "left page" and "right page" components.

For a facing-page layout where both left and right pages initially share
the same master page, and you don't need to run background elements
across the spread, clear Dual master pages.
