Do all of your pages look the same in the pages panel? Try organizing them with color.

In my previous post, I wrote about the Page Tool. Not only can you use this tool to resize pages, you can also use it to reposition pages and their content. Anyone who designs artwork that is going to be wire-o bound for instance, would probably like to be able to a) design the document pages as spreads and b) be able to break-up these spreads when the time has come to deliver finished art PDFs to the printer.

What if you want your pages numbered 4A, 4B, and so on… both on the page and in the Pages panel?

The Pages panel is not always the easiest part of InDesign to decipher. Take those weird brackets around the page numbers, for example.

When I click the Create New Page icon at the bottom of the Pages palette, it gets added after the last page in my document. I want the new page to go elsewhere, but I can’t figure out how to tell InDesign.

By default, the new page is inserted directly after the current, active spread. [...]

For most jobs the current page/spreads setup in CS2 works fine, but I am currently designing a brochure that opens like an airline ticket cover (or many landscape-style greeting cards) – up and down, not left to right!
Is there a way to create the pages in doc setup to achieve this. As designers we all want to design for reading pairs, its how the pages will look in reality, so this has me stumped. I could setup my pages in the typical way and rotate my artwork 90 degrees, but this is a most uncomfortable way to work and I don’t have one of those old Radius monitors that could rotate.
