Hi @Mizukiiiix ,

or you could use a document without facing pages in landscape mode where two pages are with every spread.

The pages could be arranged free (moved together like you want) with the Page tool.

To move pages from one spread to another, disable "Allow Document Pages To Shuffle".

I don't think it's feasible for more than 10-20 pages book...

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker ,

if one starts from scratch, one could do one single spread first.

Then duplicate the selected spread. Third step: duplicate all two spreads, then duplicate all four spreads and so on.

Done in two minutes…

You can set Baseline for each TextFrame independently:

Of course you can use Object Style for that.
