Page Sets

Inserting page sets in a plan

You can insert a new page set before, after, or between two existing page sets, or you can insert a page set within an existing page set, making it a nested page set.

Note: You can nest more than one page set within another page set.

1. Click on a page adjacent to the point at which you want to insert the new page set.

2. Do one of the following:

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

   • Press Ctrl-Shift-I (Mac OS & Windows).

The Page Set Insert dialog box opens.

1. Indicate the number of pages you want to insert (page count field).

2. Choose where you want the insertion to occur, before or after the page number you enter.

3. In the Page Number text box, indicate the page number where you want the insertion to occur.

4. Click OK.

The new page set is now inserted into the plan.

You can also nest pages in a page set by assigning the pages to another page set in the plan.

Note: You can also insert pages in a page set that become a part of the page set.

Understanding nested page sets

You can insert or “nest” a new page set within another page set in the plan.

A nested page set maintains its independence. It has a distinct name, can be numbered separately, and the page set name bar has its own color. The only difference from non-nested page sets you insert before or after other page sets is that the nested page set is in the middle of another page set.

For example, you might want to use a nested page set to allow for an advertising insert. The Sports page set might consist of pages numbered 1 through 8. In the middle you might nest a two-page advertising page set, numbered 1 and 2. When the reader removes the advertising page set, the Sports page set is still numbered correctly.

You can nest more than one page set within a page set.

The nested page set does not affect the host page set in which it is nested. The now separated parts of the original page set still share the same name, numbering, and the page set name bars still share the same color.

If you set all page sets, including the nested page set, to number by plan or number by section, the numbers run continuously by plan or section letter, including the nested page set.

If you set all page sets, including the nested page set, to number by page set, each page set numbers independently.

If you set the nested page set to number by page set and all other page sets to number by plan, the nested page set begins with 1, while the other page sets number continuously, as if the nested page set did not exist.

Page sets Setups

A plan contains all the pages that are published in an issue or product. Each plan consists of one or more-page sets. Each page set consists of one or more pages.

You can designate a page set in several ways, according to your publication’s naming conventions. These include a name (which will show in the title bar of each page in the page set when viewed in Plan), and a section letter or letters.

Numbering pages

You can number the pages in a page set in one of five ways. You can choose only one numbering scheme per page set, though some choices, such as numbering by plan or section, can affect the numbering in other page sets.

1. Select a page in the page set.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Choose Pages -> Page Set -> Setups.

   • Press Ctrl+Shift-U (Mac OS & Windows). The Page Set Setups dialog box opens.

3. From the Numbering popup, choose one of the following:

Numbering scheme	Description
Number by plan	Numbers the pages in the selected page set relative to their position in the entire plan,
Number by page set	Numbers the first page in the selected page set as page 1, without affecting other page sets in the plan.
Number by section	Numbers all page sets with the section letter consecutively, beginning with page 1. This is similar to Number by Page Set but is useful if once section has more than one page set, but you want the numbering to be continuous throughout the section.
Number from offset	Numbers the selected page set with a starting page number other than 1, such as when you want to pick up numbering where a previous publication left off. A text box opens next to the Numbering popup. Type the start number in the text box and press OK.
Number by Sequence	If this is selected, it numbers the page set according to the page set letter and the actual page number in the plan. For example, if you are looking at the first page in D, but it is the 13th page in the plan, it will display as D13.

Changing information about a page set

You can change the name or letter of a page set, specify page numbers, and make other designations for a page set.

1. In the Plan, select a page in the page set.

2. Do one of the following:

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

   • Press Ctrl+Shift-U (Mac OS & Windows).

The Page Set Setups dialog box opens.

1. To change the name of the page set, enter the new name in the Name text box.

2. To change the section letter designation of the page set, enter the new letter in the Section Letter text box. This can be a letter new to the page set or an existing letter.

3. In the Numbering popup, choose a numbering scheme. See Numbering pages.

4. To add an additional ad section assigned to the page set, select a section from the Ad Section popup.

NOTE: To remove sections that are already there, use the page info screen or the running order’s Remove Section option. If you choose to do it one page at a time, you can multi-select pages and do it a little faster.

Splitting a page set

You can split a page set into two page sets.

Note: You cannot split a nested page set.

Important: Be certain no one else is working in the page set before splitting it. If anyone has any pages checked out, you cannot split the page set.

To split a page set:

1. In the Plan, select a page in the page set you want to split.

2. Do one of the following:

   • From the Plan menu, choose Pages -> Page Set -> Split.

   • Press Ctrl+Shift-Y (Mac OS & Windows). The Page Set Split dialog box opens.

Cancel button	Cancels and closes the dialog box.
OK button	Splits the page set and closes the dialog box.

1. From the Place Split popup, choose whether you want the split to occur before or after the page number you enter.

2. In the Page Indicator text box, enter the page number where you want the split to occur.

3. In the Name text box, enter the name (up to 32 characters) you want to give the split-off page set. It must be different from the name of the original page set. Note: If in the Place Split popup, you selected Before Page, the page set before the split will have the new name. If you selected After Page, the page set after the split will have the new name.

4. Click OK.

The page set is split with the second part assigned the new name and information.

Assigning pages to a page set

You can assign selected pages to a new page set or to an existing page set.

Important: Be certain no one else is working in either the source or the target page set before assigning pages. If anyone has any pages checked out, you cannot assign pages.

   • To assign the selected pages to an existing page set, in the Page Set dropdown select the page set.

4. Click OK.

The pages are assigned to the selected page set.

Deleting page sets

You can delete a page set from a plan.

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

1. In the Plan, select a page in the page set you want to delete.

2. Do one of the following:

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

   • Press Ctrl+Shift-D (Mac OS & Windows). The Delete Page Set dialog appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the page set.

3. Click OK.

Naviga Plan deletes the page set.
