Insert / Delete Page

Inserting pages in a page set

You can insert pages in a page set.

Important: Be certain no one else is working in the page set before inserting a page into it. If anyone has any pages checked out, you cannot insert the page. If anyone is working in the page set in InDesign, you can insert the page, but editorial may be affected.

Important: You cannot undo inserting a page.

  1. Select a page in the plan. Note: The page you select does not need to be in the target page set. It is more efficient, however, to select a page next to which you intend to insert the new pages (unless you are inserting the pages at the beginning or end of the plan).

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In the Plan menu, choose Pages -> Insert Page.

    • Press Ctrl+Shift-N (Windows) or Command+Shift-N (Mac OS). The Insert Page dialog box opens.
