I want to make the A parent a spread in this document so I can have a page number on the left facing page at the left margin, not right margin.  How do I do that?  Thanks.

You can then select all the pages in the Pages Panel (under the Parent Page section)

Ensure the 2 ticks are on

 

 

Then use the
