This view has a spread setting of 4, meaning that four spreads appear across each row of the layout window.

Do one of the following:

  • Choose View -> Spreads. The Spreads menu opens. Choose one of the options for the number of spreads you wish to view across the layout window.

  • Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and a keyboard number key (keypad numbers do not work) for the number of spreads you wish to view across the layout window.
