Yup! That one caught me flat-footed just a little while ago.
Yup, me too. I figured the Horizontal option was removed with Alternate Layout. Thanks for clearing this up, April.
Scott … I think you mean Cari. :D

Sadly from what I can tell, the online help that Adobe’s currently providing for CS6 still incorrectly lists ‘Show Vertically’ as the way to alternate the view… for Pages AND Masters. This hasn’t been documented in the official Adobe Help at all from what I can tell…

Not the first CS6 application for which I find new features haven’t been properly included in the Help/User Documentation… I’m really not a big fan of the new set-up they are using… I much preferred the ‘click-through’ option where you could find a ‘topic’ and read ALL about it, by clicking the next icons (A bit like DPS is still doing today).

@Scott you’re forgiven for calling me April :) the a-r and i are in the right order in that name though ;-)
So that’s where it went! Like A-M, I was looking for that just recently and concluded it had been the victim of a “featurotomy.”
Thanks, Cari!
@Alan LOL ‘featurotomy’ … I might have to borrow that one in the future :) … it will go in the same basket as: ‘it’s not a bug, it’s a feature’ :)
Sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found thee! Just upgraded to CS6 and have been trying to figure this out. Thank you!
Awesome – this was really annoying me. Thanks!
Thats a relief! I just upgraded from CS5 to CC. I was feeling stupid because I couldn’t make this work.
THANKS! Could not find the solution for the life of me! What a grand help!
awesome, thanks for the help!
Thanks so much for this… been bugging me for a while.
This is typical, if ain’t broken, don’t fix it… feel so ‘stupid’ when I couldn’t find the option.
Thank you so much. I recently upgraded to Creative Cloud and that has been bugging me big time. I was hoping it didn’t disappear, but totally missed the ‘View Pages…’ option at the bottom. Creatures of habit I guess…
Thank Cari for sharing this! It has been bugging me.
