Adding/Insterting a page

Question

I have written about 10 books (print) and several online presentations (web) and have never had the problem I'm having now.

I have a document set up with NO FACING PAGES. Whether I set it up as a printed document or a web document, the same thing happens.

When I try to insert a page it addes the page like it would for a facing page (beside the page), but I don't want that...I want it to show up as the next page (underneath the page). All other pages set out correctly when I started the document; however, this anomoly happens when ever I try to add a page.

I must be missing something in my set up, but I've done this so many times before without this problem. Is there something in these newer releases that I'm not aware of?

Any ideas for me?

In the Pages Panel - go to the sub menu in the top right and ensure Allow Document Pages to Shuffle are ticked, there should be 2 of them to select.

Some instructions here

Then you can separate your pages or add pages without them adding beside each other.

Ensure in your document setup it's not set as facing pages.

Ensure your Parent Pages are setup with 1 page only.

If you started your document as a Facing Page document, and later changed it, the Parent Pages will still show 2 side by side - you need to remove 1 of them.
