Changing from 4 spreads to 2 spreads

Hi all,

Please help!! I currently have a 6 page document on 4 spreads (front and back covers are single pages). I have already done all the work, but now want to try 6 pages on 2 spreads. The final document will be an A4, 3 fold brochure.

I know I've done this before, but I just can't seem to get my pages to move and join correctly. I have made sure the "allow pages to shuffle" is checked. I've tried creating an alternate layout, but it doesn't work there either.

Am I missing something obvious? Or do I just make a new doc and copy work across and manually do adjustments?

Thanks in advance!

    If your intent is to have two spreads of three pages each (with each full spread printing on one side of your A4 sheet, then you will need to have Allow Pages to Shuffle not checked.  When it is checked, it forces the document into to conventional setup for a book or booklet (cover and back pages separate, two-page inside spreads)

    This is going to be printed? How is it going to be finished or bound? If the binding is saddle stitch (stapled) you would need 8-pages—the cover/inside cover and back cover/inside back cover would be 4-pages. The inside spread would also have to have a front and back (an additional 4 total pages)

    Yep, it's going to be an A4 3-fold brochure. All sorted now thanks!
