Problem with facing pages and participant guide design

Question

I am creating a participant workbook. Each page includes a column that is 70% of the page AND a second column that is the remaining 30%. This 30% "galley" column is dedicated to summary information, notes, lines, and other "quick" items. This 30% column should always be on the OUTSIDE of Left and Right pages.

Issue: When I need to INSERT a new page somewhere in the middle of the document, that galley column switches from LEFT to RIGHT and all my quick items are in the wrong place.

Is there ANY way to avoid having to move all of the information back and forth every time I adjust the number of pages?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks, Willi. I'm still not tracking. Are you saying that setting up facing pages and double-sided should address the R/L galley column switch issue? How do these settings help avoid the column content not appearing correctly? Sorry to be so ignorant about it.

With an existing document this might be tedious to accomplish, perhaps someone may have a suggestion.

However, I have attached a document that allows for content to flow and adjust accordingly to the left and right pages. The key to this is the small column content is anchored to main column relative to the spine.

Are your parent pages double sided?Do you use primary text frames?Is the text a single story, breaks organized via paragraph styles and their keep options?all 3 should be so.
