Moving even number of pages still shifts content

Hi together,

recently we had a similar discussion:

Where is the secret? With the same page size and margins, there is an offset after A is moved to B?

Facing-pages documents. Threaded text frames on every page, not using a primary text frame.

Eight pages were moved to another facing-pages document with the menu command Move Pages:

Result: On the third, the fifth and the seventh page moved, the frames' horizontal position was wrong.

Not on the first page of the moved ones.

When the pages were dragged to the other document, the frames did not move relative to the page.

My thanks for that workaround goes to Creamer Training!

The case here with Mare51 as OP could be different.

I think we need some sample documents or screenshots.

You would need to position the moved pages either after an even numbered page or before an odd numbered page to keep the relative position...

You didn't say what method you used to move the pages. The best method I've found is to use the command Layout > Pages > Move Pages... You can specify EXACTLY where the pages are to be inserted in the new document as shown below:

Try dragging them from the Pages panel to the new document rather than using the Move menu.
