Pages
In the lower area of the Page inspector, you find the list of
pages in the document. Use the sizer bar between the list of master
pages and the list of pages if you want to resize the areas of the two
lists.
The pages will be represented using single page or double page
mode icons, according to the current mode of the document.
Hint: Contrary to many other lists,
a double click on a page symbol in the Page inspector does not offer
to change its parameters. Instead, it navigates directly to the
relevant page in the document window, which will then be shown in the
zoom resolution 'Fit to page'.
With a click on the [+] button at the bottom left border of the
Page inspector, you create one or more new page(s) in the current
document. The following page parameter dialog opens, where you define
all required parameters.
Hint: Please keep in mind that

layout
, all frames of the pages defined here will be copied to the
new pages with all their attributes such as fill color, outline etc.
included, but not with their content.
With a click on the [–] button at the bottom left border of
the Page inspector, you can remove the currently selected page(s) from
the document, after you have answered a security question. (Use
[Command]+Click to select multiple pages.)

document can use different sizes. Use this advantageous feature for
special needs.
- Edit Page Numbering
-
With this menu item you can change the page numbering
parameters for the whole document. Usually the numbering starts with
page number 1. If you e.g. work on a book which is divided into
several documents, you can work with a page offset in the second
document and all of the following ones.
- Edit Global Page Parameters
-
You can change all global page parameters of the current
document with this menu item. Firstly, activate the checkbox of the
parameter group(s) that you want to change, then adjust the individual
parameters to suit your requirements.
- Select All Pages
-
This menu item simultaneously selects all page symbols in the
list of pages.
- Deselect All Pages
-
This menu item simultaneously deselects all page symbols in the
list of pages, as if you had clicked with the mouse somewhere in the
list of pages beside a page symbol.
With the mouse, you can freely move the page symbols around in the
list of pages, in order to re-sort them in the document. While you are
moving a page symbol, guides indicate where the page would be inserted
when you release the mouse button. This helps to find the right page
positions.
