Targeting and selecting spreads or pages
You can target or select spreads, depending on the task at hand:
Target the spread on which the next new object should appear. This is helpful when, for
•
example, several spreads are visible in the document window and you want to paste an
object on a specific spread. Only one spread can be the target at any given time. By
default, the target spread occupies the center of the document window. It is indicated
by the highlighted page numbers (not highlighted page icons) in the Pages palette and
by a vertical ruler that is not dimmed.
Select a page or spread when your next action will affect a page or spread rather than
•
objects, as when you're setting margin and column options for a specific page only.
When all pages of a spread are highlighted in the Pages palette, that spread is selected.
You can select multiple spreads in a document. A selected spread is indicated by the
highlighted page icons (not highlighted page numbers) in the Pages palette.
To target a spread:
Do one of the following:
In the document window, modify any object on a spread or its pasteboard.
•
In the document window, click a spread or its pasteboard.
•
In the Pages palette, double-click the page numbers under a spread. If the spread is not
•
completely visible, this also moves the entire spread into view in the document
window.
To select a page:
In the Pages palette, click a page to select it. Don't double-click unless you want also to
target it and move it into view.
To select a spread:
Do one of the following:
In the Pages palette, click the page numbers under the spread you want to select.
•
In the Pages palette, press Shift as you click the first and last page icons in a spread.
